This case may be an example of a doctrine that appears to be rooted in anomie which was preached by Brigham Young in October 1861:
But there was a way in which a woman could leave a man lawfully-when a woman becomes alienated in her feelings and affections from her husband, it is his duty to give her a bill and set her free-it would be fornication for a man to cohabit with his wife after she had thus become alienated from him.... Also, there was another way in which a woman could leave a man-if the woman preferred a man higher in authority and he is willing to take her and her husband gives her up. There is no bill [p.20] of divorce required, in [this] case it is right in the sight of God....45"
