Joseph Smith

Was Joseph Smith sealed to women who were also married to other men?

The Short Answer

A few were also civilly married to other men at the time. The Church's essay says we don't fully know why, and that these were eternal sealings — not regular marriages. Joseph said he was acting on revelation.
