In the US, a man married four women at once, this is how they get along together

The essence of polygamy It is not to have one wife, but several. Such a paradigm of family values is alien to the countries of the post-Soviet space. However, in Africa, such marriages are commonplace.



What about the West? It's not so clear here! Abel Morrison is an American who recently married four women. How a man managed this and why he decided to do this, we will find in today’s article.

The essence of polygamy America is a huge state, which consists of 50 states. Each of them has its own laws. And sometimes they are very different from each other. However, the issue of polygamy at some point was clearly fixed at the legislative level. In the second half of the nineteenth century, Congress passed several laws prohibiting men from having multiple wives.



This is especially true of the Mormon Church. Its second president, Brigham Young, married 50 women. And the state bans did not like parishioners very much. They even tried to appeal the law, but later decided to follow it, otherwise the church could be closed altogether.

As time passes, Mormons have evolved. In 1977, Utah was founded. Mormonism. It was created so that adherents of this branch of religion could easily confess and, in particular, enter into polygamous marriages. Mormon fundamentalism became part of the very church that existed in the XIX century.



However, the new Mormons no longer live as their predecessors did. They believe that the essence of polygamy is to reach the highest level of heaven. In other words, the more wives a man has, the higher his chances of achieving the main goal of his life.

The story of one Mormon, Abel Morrison, became a news star. The American has married four women and already has several children with different wives. His youngest husband is only 22 years old. She voluntarily agreed to marry a Mormon and gave birth to a son last April.

Abel's fourth wife complains that she is not understood in society. Many treat her choice of partner with condemnation. There are fights in the family itself. How about without them? However, the girl does not regret her decision.

And she's willing to share her husband with three more women, as hard as it is: "Of course, my life would be much easier if I didn't have to share a husband with three sister wives." But I know that this is what heavenly father demands.”

Menna wants people to be more tolerant of her and other women who live in polygamous families. Because of her life choices, she lost almost all of her friends. They just turned away from her, calling her almost a sectarian.

As you know, in the United States such stories are rare. This is why public attention is so focused on the Abel Morrison family. More to the point, it was even featured in a documentary that was shown on several platforms, including Netfli. Menna Barlow Morrison also blogs at TikTok, where nearly 15,000 people follow her.
