Value or no value, it depends on the kind of man they are married to.

Please ineed a reason why any lady would agree to be a second wife?

- desperation to stay married at all cost
- money
- she has no other option than to accept because she is jobless/pennyless etc
- because she cant take the mental/physical workload to be a wife by herself
- because two is better than one
- because she has already been brainwashed by her hubby
- because it is commonly accepted in African culture
- because she grew up in a polygamous home/family

What if she was never looking for making any man hers? I mean, a woman that agrees to such.

Then, she's a selfish person who can't think beyond herself that she might be hurting another person. The wife.

Unless they're Muslims sha.

Nothing bad tho. Most women hate being glued to a man and being the only one available for sex.

I read a story where a woman said she hates too much attention and sex from her hubby. She just wanna live her life and be free

Well I have aunties who are second and third wives and seems to be enjoying their life since Islam permits it.Some men especially the Muslim men are expert in handling a polygamous home but not all men have that wisdom to maintain a polygamous home, so polygamy isn't for every man even when the religion permits it.Well,I CAN/CAN'T accept polygamy for some secret reasons I won't like to mention here on this toxic forum.

Only ladies who don't value themselves agree to be second wives.

This is too generic and sweeping and just: this is only how it is and only how it can ever be.

I'm not in a situation like that, so I can't really speak from experience and for people like that, but I'll bet there are women who actually considers that to be a very good value. Asin. According to their core principles, and strong values, being in a marriage to a man who is married to another is what perfectly fits into their agenda and what works for them. For whatever reasons they are getting from it.

Excluding the lies, and pain, and double dating (in the cases where the first wife isn't aware) ... I see no problem with it.

And keep in mind, even monogamous relationships can be devastating and distressing and just stormy.

So are those relationships issue because of the fact that we're with one person or two persons? Or it's the kind of people involved?

Polygamous homes can be as turbulent as monogamous homes. I don't think I'll say one supersedes the other...or is an automatic gateway to happiness. Because hypocrites can be in monogamous marriages. Fking other women other than their wives... and the openly polygamous ones do the same thing BUT with everyone on board. That is, you know what you're getting into with a polygamous man.

cheesy Sha I'm trying to see this here from every angle.

And although, polygamy tend to be used as a disparaging and shaming and patriarchal talking points by most men, which had made it unattractive and distasteful. It's been used as as an avenue for disrespect and all sorts against women. But how about in some societies like in the past, untainted by western and patriarchal ideals, that wholly practice such kind of polygamies? In and of themselves.

IF you CAN do RIGHT by your partners - thenn I'll say goodluck.

"Mumu" is not an English term and I believe this platform deals with general language.
