Agreed.
However, what goes on in these fundamentalist Mormon cults has nothing to do with adults freely choosing to live in polygamous or polyandrous relationships.
I've seen no evidence of that in this case. But if it's true then these guys belong UNDER the prison.

These “polygamist” sects are havens for pedophiles and abuse of young women.
Read an excellent book :Under the Banner of Heaven”.
The evidence was trotted out in the court proceedings that resulted in the conviction of the FLDS “prophet” Warren Jeffs, for the specific act of forcing a 14 year old girl to marry her older cousin. Much of the testimony centered on the fact that given her sheltered/brainwashed upbringing, the girl felt she had no choice, and that when she went to the prophet after being married and raped, to beg to be released from the marriage, he said no and sent her back to her husband. This is the same group.
