“I said their baptisms are illegal. Now let me go a little farther, and say that the ordinance of marriage is illegal among all people, nations and tongues, unless administered by a man appointed by new revelation from God to join the male and female as husband and wife. Says one—“You do not mean to say that all our marriages are also illegal, as well as our baptisms?” Yes, I do, so far as God is concerned.”Orson Pratt, August 31, 1873 · Marriage · JD 16:171-185
