PAST HISTORY OF POLYGYNY IN THE MORMON CHURCH Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. Terminology: Three often confused words are: Polyandry: The practice in which a woman is married to more than one man at the same time. Polygyny: The practice in which a man is married to more than one woman at the same time. Polygamy: An umbrella term encompassing both polyandry and polygyny. The media generally refer to plural marriages among Mormons as "polygamy." However, the practice has always been limited to polygyny. Polyandry has never been allowed. Thus, polygyny is the more precise term to use here. Origins of Mormon polygyny (a.k.a. plural marriage): Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints , (a.k.a. the LDS or Mormon church) first promoted the concept of polygyny during the 1830s. This type of marital structure involves one man married to multiple wives. The practice has been variously called the Law of Abraham , the Patriarchal Order of Marriage Celestial Plural Marriage, or the Law of the Priesthood.
