Right now in the United States a Mormon pastor, Warren Jeffs, is on trial for allegedly pressuring a fourteen-year-old American girl into marrying her cousin.
Sorry to butt in, but I can't let you misquote this. Warren Jeffs and the polygamists are NOT Mormons. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) disavowed polygamy over a hundred years ago. That's why groups like the Fundamentalist LDS Church exist. Those who wouldn't give up polygamy were excommunicated and started their own churches. And their doctrine has followed a much more extreme direction ever since.
/me steps off her soap box
Here's a link to
The Primer which has some interesting insights into the polygamous communities.
Sorry to go off-topic, but I couldn't stand to see a common mistake go uncorrected.
