When I was at BYU, I was told by my ACADEMIC advisor that I was there to ‘get a husband, not an education’.

And 20 years ago, if you weren’t married by the time you were 21 then you were told to go on a mission to make yourself more ‘marriageable’.

Women are DEFINITELY second class citizens in Mormondom.

What I find interesting is that the was no statement regarding that the wife MUST be brought through the veil by her husband - there is no mechanism for her to go in by herself.
