Three witnesses, one whose identity is protected by a publication ban, testified in a Cranbrook court Thursday
CRANBROOK, B.C. — A British Columbia court heard evidence from three former members of a polygamous religious group in the trial of a man charged with removing a 15-year-old girl from Canada to marry a man in the United States.
Shortly after crossing the border, the van turned into a highway pullout and she left the vehicle to venture off into the woods. The daughter of Warren Jeffs, the church’s president and prophet, testified that church members, particularly women, are taught from birth about the importance of obedience to fathers and husbands.
“I was taught that I should submit to my husband in obedience, that he was my leader and my priesthood head and as a wife, I should cook and clean and sew and have children and take care of the children.”
