Grandmeister of delusion.

There are women who married another wives for their husbands. This is not heresy, go and do your research.

To burst your bubble, those women are not barren. Are they troublesome for taking another wives for their husband?
Some women encourage their husbands to take another wives. Are they troublesome too?
My family is a polygamous one. My maternal grandma agreed for her husband to marry a second wife even though she had two sons which the husband (ignorantly) thought was too few to maintain his lineage! Long story short the husband himself sent the second wife packing after her unquenching wahala. They took her back after a few years and her wahala still continued till the man have up the ghost! Today both kitchens are in the court fighting for the man's lands..again I say shut da fvck up if you have not personally experienced the bane of poligamy in a home.

Why should a woman with dignity share her husband with other women...
Can you share your wife with other men?

It's normal for a man to have 2 or more wives but it's abnormal for a woman to have 2 or more husbands. Polygamy is not a new thing. It had been in the Bible. Men like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Esau, Moses, David, Solomon, the husband of Hannah, etc.

We should just be sincere with ourselves, You cannot be a second wife but you can date married man.
Your husband can use money to entice his female collogues, and put-on his car a/c for a little girl on campus for 7hrs in a spot.
You claim to be" Catholic priest" but you are struggling with sex abuse case in court.
Your husband develop love for a new chicks but he needs to put up trouble and file for divorce.
You see nothing wrong with "baby mama" but see plenty wrong with polygamous.
Otedola propose to your beautiful sister, your family vow to disown her if she refused to grab the offer.


Please who is fooling who!

But you probably won't see women bringing up topics to ridicule women for remarrying - divorcing even up to 10 times. In fact they will cheer them up. But they have problems with women who legally married as second wives and remain happy.

its called AN OPINION...and any one of these women have the right to think the way they desire. thats what NL is here for, aka to discuss these issues openly (whether male or female, right or wrong).

The same "woke" ladies that call women unprintable names for becoming a second wife are the ones looking for sugar daddies. They are the ones doing kayamata here and there so that rich married men can discover them.

thats a big assumption dont you think?!

They generally disagree with reality and mislead people in their doom.

you mean "your" reality, right?!

Not long ago a popular feminist who has always insulted women for allowing men to pay their bride price, and calling their parents disgusting names for "selling" their daughters, came from Canada to get married. And guess what, the man paid her bride price and even do a lot of spending. Of course, she dares those she has misled to do their worse.
Is that the society of wokeness that we should take seriously?

when you stop viewing these people online for anything else than just another somebody with an opinion, thats when you will understand that whatever anyone does online is irrelevant to your own views. there are many hypocrites out there and ones view shouldnt be a benchmark to this discussion.

Okay, and if the wife is open to that, too? Like genuinely, really open and the unbothered type? No. I ain't talking about the sneaky, snaky, hypocritical, poisoning type. But imagine if the two women are all vibes and good feelings. LMAO. Or maybe I'm just being idealistic with picturing two wives like this. And with a man. Yunno. I want to think there are some that have that much autonomy and self-awareness.

I explained further in another comment sha. Why polygamy generally is distasteful and would be seen as such. And that doesn't mean monogamy is automatically better, just because it is monogamy oh, in my view.

Yup. Being Muslims too is one reason.



Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Nothing wrong with that, too. Or should be wrong with it. If women can be second wives, men can be second husbands. It's only hypocritical men that'll support the former and not the latter. And I suspect they'll soon arrive here. If this topic was created for them now, all of their objectivity will fly out the window and you'll start hearing, 'men cannot be XYZ and igbadakodo.'



Ehen. This is an example.

I actually know of a lady who agreed to the polygamy arrangement, with the agreement of the first wife of course.
The couple have been married for some years without a child, so the husband with the consent of his wife married the lady, and within a year, the second wife gave birth to twin boys.
The first wife and the second wife were cool with each other as at then, I don't know about now.

Some people have their reasons for going into such agreement sha.

In some parts of the world it is legal for women to marry more than one husband. And it is normal to them...

Also, marrying more than one wife (that you support) is illegal in some parts of the world. It is abnormal to them...

Even gay marriage is legal is some parts of the world, but it is illegal here in nigeria. It is abnormal to us...

People marry according to their desires and what is permitted by their culture, tradition, religion, and the laws of their land.

But One husband with one wife is ideal for the sake of commonsense, dignity and honour.
If men in nigeria cannot share their wives, no nigerian woman should share her husband.

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.
Wise sayings I'm shocked this came from you.

Polygamy: having more than one spouse at a time.

Polyandry: having more than one husband at a time.

Polygny: having more than one wife at a time.

Polyamory: having multiple relations while being married (or not married) to one person (often times with consent) . . . it works both ways.

Polyfidelity: a type of polyamory, but limited to a few partners (either one way or both ways).

Nothing new under the sun.

The world is grey.

To each his own.

P.S. if the price (sexual, emotional, FINANCIAL, physical, psychological, mental, societal, etc.) is right, most people would do anything.

Many families from MONOGAMOUS backgrounds..

Are fighting and killing each other..

Over inheritances..

Many Polygamous families settled their issues amicably and are in peace..

All these people wey dey kill their spouses up and down..

Are they from Polygamous families?

Fate is a funny thing, also mysterious, whether you're rich or not, you as a lady can end up being even 3rd wife.
Whether you like it or not, lifetime is unpredictable.
And whether you're smart or not, if you wanna claim wise and self esteem to be first wife, if they will marry more wives on top you, they will.
