Is it true that Mormons believe women can only get into heaven if they are married? Isn’t that sexist?

Mormons do not believe that women can only get into heaven if they are married. We believe that marriage is essential for the spiritual progress of both men and women. However, those men and women who do not have the opportunity to marry in this life can certainly still get into heaven. In 1996, Elder Dallin H. Oaks, one of the worldwide leaders of the Mormon Church, stated: "Through the merciful plan of our Father in Heaven, persons who desire to do what is right but through no fault of their own are unable to have an eternal marriage in mortal life will have an opportunity to qualify for eternal life in a period following mortality, if they keep the commandments of God and are true to their baptismal and other covenants."
