Wow, they all look so happy...but i can hear my anthropology teacher in my ear, and it's true, i don't know how their culture views multiple wives. It is acceptable, and normal in many.

If he can afford fourteen wives, I am sure there are enough poor women who would see the security of the marriage as worth fighting for. "Times of need and strange bedfellows"

Yes, that's a lot the way i think too. But i'm learning that every single person on this planet is a product of the culture that they are brought up in. And i have been so surprised to see how many different cultures there are, and how different they are! Wow! For instance i had never even heard of a matrilineal culture before.
