I am not LDS, but my dad is. From what he's explained, polygamy is totally against LDS teachings. I mean, they excommunicate people who do it, so it is rather apparent that they don't believe in it.
And many girls in these breakaway Mormon sects are married off against their will at terribly young ages (12, 13, even younger sometimes) and at times they suffer physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and profound poverty. Not to mention they are denied opportunities for education and the chance to develop mentally and socially. Definitely not something I'd want my daughter subjected to.
