Rod Parker is intelligent enough to figure out a solution to all of this. It should go something like this: 1) Don't marry underage women 2) Don't marry cousins 3) See if the young adults have received any divine inspiration as to who they should marry and stop practicing forced marriage altogether or at least between old men and young girls 4) Practice celestial marriage all you want, but keep things legal. Since you only care about celestial marriage and not legal marriage, a man can file for marriage and divorce from wife number one, then do the same for wife number two and then for wife number three. The divorced wives can still be celestial wives, the man just can't live with them, have sex or children with them. Build triplexes and have children by legally consecutive wives rather than concurrent wives. Stop overlapping childbearing by more than one wife. You'll still get to heaven!
