Note that although ''FLDS'' and other religious polygamous relationships tend to be polygny, they just fall under the polygyny umbrella. The specific name for these relationships are "Plural Marriages". It should also be noted that the ''FLDS'' is different from ''The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints'' (more commonly called ''Mormon'' or ''LDS'' but those names should be avoided.) ''The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints'' no longer practices polygamy. |
