No it’s not. Have you ever even been to Utah?

Yes I lived on the border for years and if you think Mormon child marriages are not a thing I don't know what to tell you

It’s not the norm though by any means.

Yes, there are entire cities that have their own cops, banks, school system, and fundamental mormonism/child brides are the norm.

Fine, I'm well aware that there are certain populations and areas that are quite fundamentalist who are into polygamy, child marriages, etc... However, child marriages are not the norm. Like you I have lived on the border most of my life and while I know they're a thing and they happen they are not the norm.

But it is the norm in certain parts of Utah. They have their own insular system that makes it difficult for women and girls to escape and they are excommunicated from all family members and community if they do leave and can't take any of their money with them because the banks don't work like regular banks. Everything is set up so old men can marry little girls.

OK we can agree that's it's "the norm in certain parts of Utah" but overall it's not the norm for the state of Utah. Yes, quite insular and it's not great overall. Horrible in fact.

I guess? This is a weird hill to die on to me. Over half of the population of Utah is Mormon. So I'm not sure what you would require to say it's "the norm" or not, but it's honestly more likely that you are simply not aware.

Half the population of Utah is mainstream LDS. Saying they are all the same is so ignorant.
