I believe that Sarai, giving Hagar to mate with Abram, is not a wedding ceremony, is not recognized by that society as a legal marriage, was certainly never referred to by God as a marriage of his wife.
God indeed, recognized the legitimacy of Sarah’s marriage to Abraham and the illegitimacy of his relationship to Hagar,when He referred to Issac as his son, his only son.
Nowhere does He refer to Hagar as being Abraham’s wife. This is just a stretch and twisting of the truth in a desperate attempt to justify polygamy, something not supported Scripturally.
I wonder. If the LDS states that polygamy is wrong, why are so many people going through such contortions trying to justify it?
If God approves of it, what’s the LDS leadership doing condemning it?
If the LDS leadership and God condemn it, what are so many people doing trying to defend it?
God indeed, recognized the legitimacy of Sarah’s marriage to Abraham and the illegitimacy of his relationship to Hagar,when He referred to Issac as his son, his only son.

There are two kinds of marriages here one is for all eternity which Abraham and Sarah have, the one that Hagar has is for time only, til death do we part!
