No, only a very small sect still does. However, if I were a Mormon, I would practice as much polygamy as all the dumb women in Utah would allow me too. The intelligent women in Utah would send me packing. But, there are still enough who would want to share their "man" with other women.

I am a former Latter-day Saint. Mormons do not practice polygamy ... at least no more than non-Mormons do.
Until recently, monogamy was the practice of having only one sexual partner in a lifetime. Humans have never been very good at monogamy and trading off sexual partners is so common that we now consider monogamy to be the practice of having only one sexual partner at a time.
When I was an active Latter-day Saint, we referred to the current practice of most people as being "serial polygamy". Some people are now referring to it as "serial monogamy" ... I guess they just don't want to call it what it really is ... polygamy.

No Mormons practice polygamy. The LDS does not condone it, and part of their beliefs are to follow the laws of the land. There are break off groups of the LDS church. These "Mormons" do practice polygamy, but the church does not acknowledge them as part of the religion.

Mormons from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints haven't practiced polygamy since 1890. Any Mormon practicing polygamy in the LDS church would be excommunicated.

The mormon church does not recognize polygamy. Any person practicing polygamy would be excommunicated and turned over to the authorities for prosecution.

Mormons do not practice polygamy -- there are Mormon wannabe's who practice it and are outlaws -- but they are not Mormon.
Mormons did practice Polygamy when it was legal but we do not anymore

No. I'm not Mormon either, but one of my best friends is. Her family's whole church doesn't practice polygamy.

No. I'm not Mormon, but I know for a fact that not all of them do. It's illegal anyway. Mormons are inherently republican anyway, so they should adhere to the laws of the United States of America, lest they want to be hypocrites.

Only the males. The females are monogamous
