Here's more info:
Page 169, lines 30-33 anti-Mormon book "The God-makers"
" [Joseph Smith took wives] in brazen disobedience to the Book of Mormon and Section 101 of the Doctrine and Covenants."
The Book of Mormon does say the general rule is monogamy, but that under certain circumstances the Lord will require a plurality of wives.
The original Section 101 (never claimed as a revelation but approved as a statement of belief) did state that monogamy was the practice of the Church at that time. The section was not written by Joseph Smith and was voted upon by members in his absence. Perhaps the section was intended to prevent members from getting involved with plural marriage until such a time as the practice would be authorized by the Lord Church-wide. When that became the fact, the current Section 132 replaced the old Section 101.
