Taylor le Matthias F. Cowley. Ka ntlha ya kganetso ya bone, boobabedi ba ne ba patelediwa go tlogela go nna maloko a Lekgotla la Baaposetoloi ba ba Lesome le Bobedi ka 1905. Ka 1911 Taylor o ne a kgaolwa mo kerekeng ka ntlha ya go tswelela a ganetsa. Ka 1909, Francis M.

Ba-Mormon ba le bantsi, go akaretsa le baeteledipele ba ba itsegeng ba kereke, ba ne ba tswelela go nna le manyalo a bontsi go fitlha ka bo1940 le bo1950.[9]
Fa kereke e ne e simolola go kgaola batho ba ba neng ba tswelela pele ka go nyala lefufa kana ba buelela go nyala lefufa, bangwe ba batho bao ba ne ba simolola mokgatlho wa Ba-Mormon ba ba neng ba tsaya dilo masisi.

Those involved in plural marriages after 1904 were excommunicated; and those married between 1890 and 1904 were not to have church callings where other members would have to sustain them. Although the Mormon church officially prohibited new plural marriages after 1904, many plural husbands and wives continued to cohabit until their deaths in the 1940s and 1950s.
