Page "Mormonism and polygamy" Paragraph 43

As of 1998, however, women who have died may be sealed to more than one man.

On page 72 of the 1998 edition of the Church Handbook of Instructions, the LDS Church created a new policy that a woman may also be sealed to more than one man.

A woman, however, may not be sealed to more than one man while she is alive.

She may only be sealed to subsequent partners after both she and her husband ( s ) have died.

Thus, if a widow who was sealed to her first husband remarries, she may be sealed by proxy to all of her subsequent husband ( s ), but only after both she and the subsequent husbands have died.

Church leaders have not clarified if women in such circumstances will live in a polyandrous relationship in the afterlife.

However, proxy sealings, like proxy baptisms, are merely offered to the person in the afterlife, indicating that the purpose is to allow the woman to choose the right man to be sealed to.
