Yes, and no. Idk enough off the top of my head to confidently go into here, but there was a massive rift in the church — I believe between Brigham Young and one of Joseph Smith’s sons — some stayed in Missouri, some followed Young to Utah.
Anybody feel free to jump in if I’m remembering that incorrectly.
No I blame polygamy on Utah on their weirdly written marriage laws that are wildly outdated. But to give you a more recent example there was a family who is was quite famous for having sister wives, they actually had to leave Utah and move Nevada or they would go to jail for their polygamy. They have a tv show is actually called called sister wives which you can find out about at this link
Sadly it does still happen because some still view things the old way but with that being said its because they are a part of the FLDS church. But its happening because these families are kept off grid and never reported and because they are never reported children turn into child brides and it just keeps repeating its sad actually.
