This isn't bizarre fiction (if you don't believe me, read Todd Comton's book "In Sacred Lonliness). Joseph smith and other church higher-ups married many women who were already currently married to other men. Most were married in secret, without the husband's knowledge. Others he married with the consent of the husband (the husband was usually too afraid to challenge them for fear that Joseph, or God, or both would punish them). These women lived with their original husbands who fed, clothed and loved them. But in the next life (and any other time that the prophet/apostle wanted them), she would belong to the new man.

I'm sorry, but I need more than "I read this in a book" before I'll believe that.
