Mormons get unfairly razzed a lot about a perceived history of plural marriages/child brides. In this case the prejudices will be reinforced, it appears.

Perceived? It is historical fact that many early Mormon leaders had many wives, including "child" brides. Joseph Smith took a bride of 13 years of age, for example. He and Brigham Young both had dozens of wives. In this case perception is reality.
