| − | Despite the fact that rules regarding polygamy are outlined in D&C 132, the Church no longer teaches it as doctrine. It ''was'' taught as doctrine in the 1800's, it is ''not'' taught as doctrine today. There is no doctrine that allows the present practice of plural marriage in the Church. Its practice is "not doctrinal."

| − | Polygamy is illegal today, and Church policy is to respect the law on the matter. For most of the practice of plural marriage, the Church fought the anti-polygamy laws, and regarded them as violations of the Constitution. Any decision to disobey secular law for conscience sake must be specifically commanded by the Church's leaders. At present, that has not happened.

| − | | |
| − | Many constitutional law scholars--LDS and non-LDS--regard the Supreme Court decisions on the legality of plural marriage as clearly biased and motivated by religious prejudice. The nineteenth century Saints had good grounds for believing that the law was unjust and would eventually be overturned. <ref>{{Periodical:Smith:Polygamy Prophets and Prevarication}} describes these issues in detail.</ref>

| − | After the Manifesto, monogamy was advocated in the Church both over the pulpit and through the press. On an exceptional basis, some new plural marriages were performed between 1890 and 1904, especially in Mexico and Canada, outside the jurisdiction of U.S. law; a small number of plural marriages were performed within the United States during those years. In 1904, the Church strictly prohibited new plural marriages. Today, any person who practices plural marriage cannot become or remain a member of the Church.<ref>[https://www.lds.org/topics/plural-marriage-and-families-in-early-utah?lang=eng "Plural Marriage and Families in Early Utah,"] ''Gospel Topics'' on LDS.org (2013)</ref>
