Multi-wife Family by sistawoman: 9:37pm On Sep 18, 2008
I know this goes in the family section but not alot of folks visit there so i posted here and there and will put in culture as well.

I am just curious as to how multi-wife families operate.

Does the sr. wife pick the jr wife/wives?
How does the Sr. wife act toward the Jr. wife?
What if the Jr. wife is younger more beautiful?
Who sleeps with the husband?
What are the pros and cons of such an arrangement?
What are the job descriptions/duties for each wife?
What is the husband expected to do?

Do you know anyone or are you I a multi-wife marriage?
How is life with two women living in the same household?


Anything else you think to add that I have not asked.

Still wrong section.
moving to family


Yes, my neighbour and friends were in a polygamous family.
And not just two wives grin
Their dad probably had over 20 wives, only five wives and their kids lived next to us. Down the road in their guest house, about 3 lived there, further down the road about 4 lived there. Oh i think they got on fine. Never went to their house undecided so i dont know what went on inside their house. Only you could hear them fighting somedays - it was hilarious to us coz they women will be screaming at each other, then after some minutes, all is well. Nope, their dad never came around and i doubt he was bothered by the women when they have their fights. All in all, i think they got along well, wives and kids.
I know quite a few polygamous families. Not my concern how the women go about their biz, but the kids all seemed to take the whole polygamy thing in stride.
