The town of men 'took new wives to heaven' in America

Utah (USA) is famous for its majestic landscapes, especially Bryce and Zion National Parks. Mountain landscape next to rural villages characterized by the wild West as in the cowboy stories has attracted many tourists to come here.

However, in addition to these scenic spots, many tourists come here to the rumors of Hildale and Colorado City polygamy towns on the border between Utah and Arizona. It is unbelievable that at this time, in a civilized and developed country like America still exists this strange custom. People here believe that there must be at least three wives, after death can go to heaven. Therefore, they married many women at the same time and gave birth to them.

To come to this exotic town, visitors can combine with visiting the spectacular Grand Canyon, less than 150km away, located between the barren desert, surrounded by red cliffs typical of the American West .

The explanation for this strange custom, it is said, because this town is the capital of the FLDS church with a conservative and backward lifestyle. People here still live as "small houses on the prairies", from dress up to living. They do not use the internet and television to connect with the outside world, wearing stylish clothes from the last century, children do not go to school.

This community of 7,000 people lives quite closed and isolated.

Many people could not stand this way of life and left the town. The 7,000 community is quite self-contained and isolated, does not interact with the outside and is not open to strangers. This polygamy religious leader has been arrested and scientists have also shown that getting married here will cause many health consequences, but people in Hildale and Colorado City still maintain this way of life. .
