Answer 1

No.

The remaining women will be single--or there may be a rotation between divorces and marriages. Plus, some men and/or women may want to stay alone and not marry at all. You have to consider the truth about who we are.

We are genderless "spirits" here to find out or prove to ourselves whether or not we can handle being of one gender or the other or not. Only those who are "worthy" of the "power" of having gender will have it forever.

56 Behold, a righteous man can bring forth many children, but these children cannot be righteous except that they are taught by their mothers who are righteous. And if it were in the best interest of the purpose of creation, then God would rid Himself of most men, but keep unto Himself the women. For within one man is the power to create many children, but within a woman is the power by which she might only create one child at one time. And this righteous man might be the means by which many women may bring forth children.
57 And this thing was known from the beginning, even according to the words of Adam. And at certain times the Lord commanded chosen men to allow their wives to give unto them other wives for the purpose of creation. Nevertheless, these were righteous men who were chosen specifically by the Lord to do this thing. But unto the rest of the children of men, he hath commanded that they have but one wife only, and this because of their unrighteousness.
58 And in the record of my father is given instruction, even by the mouth of Jacob, the brother of Nephi, concerning these things. And my father wrote the words of Jacob in which he said: For behold, thus saith the Lord: This people begin to wax in iniquity; they understand not the scriptures, for they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms, because of the things which were written concerning David, and Solomon his son.
59 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
...
61 And I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
62 Therefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none. For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts. And this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
63 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things. For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
...67...And the gospel of Christ requireth a man to love his wife and cleave unto her and none else. And if a man even looketh upon another woman, that is not his wife, to lust after her, he hath committed a grave sin, and except he repent, he shall be condemned before God. For God loveth his daughters and will protect them from the lusts and desires of men.

Answer 2

What have the remaining women been doing?

Polygamy is too complex a subject to give a simple right or wrong. We cannot let the laws of the land dictate what is moral and immoral. Laws used to allow slavery, and they still allow drinking alcohol and smoking. Indeed, the Edmunds Tucker Act was enacted AFTER Mormons were already practicing polygamy.

We have an example in Warren Jeffs as to what can go wrong in a polygamous community. If not kept in check, it welcomes demoting women as second-class citizens. Girls could be forced into marriages with older men. There seems to be more cases of spousal and child abuse. Teenage boys are sometimes run out of Colorado City so that the older men can have more wives.

OTOH, polygamy can work in some circumstances. As you mentioned there are naturally more adult women than men. More men than women die in wars. The book of Revelation even talks of seven women clinging to one man in the last days.

Answer 4

DEUTERONOMY 21:15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

DEUTERONOMY 21:16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:

DEUTERONOMY 21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a DOUBLE portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

Answer 5

Polygamy isn't of God. Mormons embrace it because their first "prophet" insisted on it and enforced it by sending his male followers out of town on long trips, then forcing their wives to "marry" him. Today, even though polygamy has been publicly denounced by the Mormons, they still take vows of eternal polygamy in their temple ceremonies. That's one of the reasons Mormonism is a cult.

Polygamy is not of God.

Answer 9

I have no issues with polygamy. To me if gay marriage should be allowed then so should polygamy. Don't forget it goes both ways. In a matriarchal household she could have 3 husbands.

Answer 10

You're supposed to marry one woman at a time.
