Polygamous sect ousts boys for worldly vices

Article here. Excerpt:
'Over the past six years, hundreds of teenage males have been expelled or felt compelled to leave the polygamous settlement that straddles Colorado City, Arizona, and Hildale, Utah.
Disobedience is usually the reason given for expulsion, but former sect members and state legal officials say the exodus of males also remedies a huge imbalance in the marriage market. (The expulsion of girls is rarer.) Members of the sect believe that to reach eternal salvation, men are supposed to have at least three wives.'

Not enough women for them.
It makes sense that young males would either want to leave or have to leave or be expected to leave. After all, with polygamy there wouldn't be enough women around for them, so why stay?
China is going to end up having this very same problem too, though there won't be anyplace for the tens of millions of angry, frustrated, involuntarily celibate men to go.
