Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aikuchi" data-source="post: 2884359" data-attributes="member: 38713">Its mostly tradition that dictates that men of affluence or considerable power and ranking take multiple wives (leaning to heavy patriachal society - in governing), but the domain of home, hearth and other more essential, mundane matters are the province of women. -traditionally-, with a 'reason' that men care little or are ill equipped for such matters.The first wive gains 'helpers' as well as ranking for each wive after her. To keep some power in the family, each elder wife would love to get pick of the next wife, choosing a "marriageable servant" or sorts. There is also the bringing of more children into a home. and sometimes 1st wives have an extended right to claim the younger wives children as her own heris (if she is unwilling ir unable to produce heirs). There is very little altruistic (?) or generous benefits to being in a family with several wives. Like most relationships for multiple partners (undisclosed) - its a power play for dominance. Familial politics plays a greater role with one clan/family to the next depending on size of faily (including exended wives and networks). Each wife after the 1st gains less and less power, demored to a more servantlike state. Unless they die in succession, which is why poisons are so much preferable (giggles). But what do I know - I dont have muiltiple wives. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />I only live in a society that practices such.</blockquote>
