    Can a polygamous man treat his wives equally? And would he agree to his wife taking another husband? http://bbc.in/2qQnD04 pic.twitter.com/LqMtef982l

        Polygamy only exist amongst a people who lack LOVE. In virtue #marriage is sacred & it's between 2ppl in whom divine purpose can be realized

        i don't think he can let his wife get somebody else, 1 thing about polygamous men is that they're super jealous when it comes to their wives

        Affectionately, he can't treat 'em equally. Financially, he can. And the man wouldn't agree to his wife taking another husband

        ONE IMPORTANT REMARK: There is NO polygamous man as far as I know the picture is showing a POLYGYNY/OUS MAN in contrast to POLYANDROUS WOMAN

        Would a polygamous man agree that his wifes share him with other men? What would those men (polygamous) say if tables were turned around?pic.twitter.com/bGM2RqQdV6
