the members of the largest faction, the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints (lds church), do not continue to teach and practice polygamy today. in the late-19th century and early-20th century, the practice was formally abandoned as various laws banned polygamy in the united states, and the lds church was persecuted for violating those laws, resulting in confiscation of lds church properties. the lds church no longer sanctions open polygamy. however, many lds men were sealed in lds temples to more than one woman "for eternity", following the divorce or death of the first wife, the latter example being the case with two current lds leaders, president russell nelson and apostle dallin oaks.
