A woman told The Sun she married a man with 22 wives, some as young as nine years old, in what the outlet called the U.S.'s polygamy capital. The woman said her mother later married the same man.

The account describes life in a fundamentalist polygamist community, where child marriage and plural marriage continue despite being illegal. The woman's story includes details of the age disparities and family dynamics within the group.

Fundamentalist Mormon groups practice plural marriage despite the mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officially ending the practice in 1890 and excommunicating members who engage in it. These breakaway groups are not affiliated with the LDS Church.
