Mormonism and polygamy
Posterity
#### Posterity

One reason given for the practice of polygamy is to increase the Mormon population by childbirth. In the [Millennial Star](/wiki/Millennial_Star "Millennial Star"), a church owned and operated newspaper, an article teaches that monogamous marriages result in offspring that are physically and mentally lesser than offspring of polygamous marriages.


Can a person's choice of marriage style affect their offspring's abilities?
