Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why We Practice Plural Marriage My purpose in publishing another pamphlet on the subject of plural marriage is to throw more light upon it, and to show forth the foolishness and inconsistency of those who hold it up as a "foul stain that pollutes the very soil where it exists." Those who are striving to convert our children from the faith and principles so plainly set forth in their own Bible, and which were practiced by the old patriarchs, inspired prophets and mouth-pieces of God, whom Christians quote from as His sacred oracles, and yet wish to take away the civil and religious rights of a people whose belief and practice are confirmed by that very book.

Download or read book Plural Marriage for Our Times written by Philip L. Kilbride and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoroughly revised second edition offers a child-centered, international perspective as it urges America to de-stigmatize alternate family forms. In this book's first edition, Philip L. Kilbride showed polygamy as the preferred marriage pattern in most parts of the nonwestern world and explained how plural marriage is surfacing in western countries to address economic and spiritual crises. In Plural Marriage for Our Times: A Reinvented Option? Second Edition, Kilbride and his coauthor, Douglas R. Page, update and enhance this thesis in light of contemporary circumstances, new studies, and current legal debates. This new edition examines plural marriage's benefits for children. It extends the discussion of polygamy and religion, especially the Muslim perspective on marriage and family; considers the illegal polygamy of immigrants; and looks at multiple marriage in African American communities, where "crisis polygamy" is a growing phenomenon. The authors suggest Americans consider plural marriage as a viable practice that can help reduce the divorce rate, better protect women and children, and serve as an alternative to the "fractured family" so prevalent in America today.

Download or read book A House Full of Females written by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of A Midwife's Tale, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Bancroft Prize for History, and The Age of Homespun--a revelatory, nuanced, and deeply intimate look at the world of early Mormon women whose seemingly ordinary lives belied an astonishingly revolutionary spirit, drive, and determination. A stunning and sure-to-be controversial book that pieces together, through more than two dozen nineteenth-century diaries, letters, albums, minute-books, and quilts left by first-generation Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, the never-before-told story of the earliest days of the women of Mormon "plural marriage," whose right to vote in the state of Utah was given to them by a Mormon-dominated legislature as an outgrowth of polygamy in 1870, fifty years ahead of the vote nationally ratified by Congress, and who became political actors in spite of, or because of, their marital arrangements. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, writing of this small group of Mormon women who've previously been seen as mere names and dates, has brilliantly reconstructed these textured, complex lives to give us a fulsome portrait of who these women were and of their "sex radicalism"--the idea that a woman should choose when and with whom to bear children.

Download or read book We Want for Our Sisters what We Want for Ourselves written by Patricia Dixon and published by Black Classic Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In We Want for Our Sisters What We Want for Ourselves, Dr. Patricia Dixon debunks myths about monogamy and polygyny and challenges us to rethink our approach to marriage and family. This book reveals that before European domination, polygyny was an accepted marriage and family practice in over eighty percent of the world's cultures. Even in Western societies, polygyny has always been practiced. However, because it is done so under a myth of monogamy, this creates a "peculiar" form of the practice that is demoralizing to women. This peculiar form of polygyny was practiced in early European history in Greece and Rome. It was also practiced during slavery in the U.S. to the detriment of African American women and their families. Even in contemporary America, because closed polygyny is practiced in various forms, under the guise of monogamy, it continues to disempower African American women and undermine their marriages and families. Dr. Dixon offers many reasons to support polygyny, most importantly, the shortage of available African American men. Through extensive interviews, she offers an insider's look at polygynous marriages, showing readers its benefits and disadvantages, inter-personal dynamics, how financial, sexual, and parental responsibilities are determined, and the legal, moral, and cultural challenges that must be overcome in order to make polygynous marriage possible within American society. Finally, she calls for African American women to move toward building marriages and families based on love, truth, community, and ultimately a womanist ethic of care for sisters. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mormon Doctrine of Polygamy, or Plurality of Wives, Examined and Refuted Now, if this darling Mormon system of plurality of wives was so well pleasing to God at one time as he repre sents it, it would have been equally so at another. Let the reader consult the chronology of his Bible, and he will find that the institution of God - one man and one wmnan in marriage - continued uninterrupted for at least 235 years: when Lamech became the first transgressor (gen. Iv. Passing from this chapter to the sixth, tembracing a period of about 1656 years, the practice of polygamy had reached a. Fearful height, and had become almost universal. 80 great bad the wickedness 'of men become under the influence of a carnal nature, that even the sonsof God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they vi. Noah and his three sons, however, were an exception to the profligacy which generally prea vailed at that time. And mark the honour which God put upon this family for their consistency, holiness, and steady adherence to' the Divine law of marriage, and avoidance of the evil conduct and example of those around them. 8, vii.-1, On the other hand, God's heavy judgment fell in a flood of waters upon all those who gave themselves up to the sinful indulgence of carnal lusts.'
