Two articles about polygamy
Two stories about polygamy. A group of women are pursuing a class-action lawsuit against the Mormon polygamist colony Bountiful in rural British Columbia, where they claim they suffered sexual, physical, psychological and spiritual abuse in forced polygamous marriages. The woman spearheading the lawsuit cites cross-border trafficking in girls for arranged marriages between Bountiful and polygamist communties in Utah and Arizona. . . Meanwhile, the Salt Lake Tribune covers a talk by a former polygamous wife to several hundred students at Weber State University. "Joseph blames monogamy for societal problems such as adultery, divorce and broken homes. She considers herself an advocate for plural marriage, although she was careful not to push polygamy on the students. Instead, she urged them to be open-minded about alternative lifestyles."
