Polygamist wives who gather the courage to run from beatings, rapes and illegal "spiritual" unions are beginning to use a time-tested tactic to fight back. They're starting to sue. For millions. A group of former polygamist wives from Colorado City and a similar community in Bountiful, Canada, are preparing a class-action lawsuit seeking an undetermined amount of money from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The fundamentalist church is not connected to the mainstream Mormon Church, which has banned polygamy.
