The African society in this aspect is still backward. There is no woman on earth that will say she is happy that her husband has a second wife. The developed society that say one man, one woman is not stupid. They have come a long way. They have evaluated the situation in depth before they came to that law. Even in many African traditions I know there are proverbs & sayings that describe the side effects & disadvantages of polygamy. From my great Edo proverb we say the chicken is not happy when she sees the bird being hanged because it might be her turn next time. Our men are just being selfish & dominate. If we all get education where women are no longer dependent on the man for her financial support I think no woman will stay with a man who want a second wife when she can take care of herself.
What's wrong with this woman. Polygamy is great for women. It means if something happens to you your children won't end up in government facilities. People need to be less jealous and realize that monogamy is not natural. As for polyandry it has its good points not only for women and the men but society in general. It is a great way to keep population in check.
I hate when people say monogamy isn’t natural, I think virtually all relationship practices of all cultures would highly disagree. Now lifelong sexual attraction to one person is a different story.
I do not agree with Lola's views on this. Polygamy might not be idea, but it is realistic and needed in some situations. Men do not just take another wife because the first one is inadequate, there are a lot of other logical reasons to do so.
