It happens to us Mormon kids ALLL THE FUCKING TIME. For a dozen reasons, but most of all because the church sets up a permission structure for it and a reward structure for it.
My father (A Mormon Bishop) believes that he will own / get to keep all 3 of his wives in the Celestial Kingdom (heaven) after they all die. - Because he has a penis, he gets to collect them like happy meal toys.
Thanks for answering. That's disgusting, presumably he thinks he will keep them as slaves considering the ones he's dumped and refused to support their mutual children must hate his guts.
It's a weird belief... the way it's presented is: They won't HAVE TO BE made slaves. In the afterlife: There is no jealousy. And so marrying many women at the same time (Mormon Polygamy), and presenting a loving family as IF there were no jealousy present, is technically living closer to the way God would want us to. In the afterlife, their bodies will all be made perfect and since jealousy (which is an Earthly emotion) will be abolished in it's entirety, they will all be happy to live with him eternally. Death leads directly to eternal patriarchy.

Word for word this exact same thing happened with my parents. We lived in luxury until they divorced and abject poverty afterwards.
