Why Did Wives Give their Husbands Additional Wives?

There is no trolling. I did asked myself what is neccesary for polygyny. One man, at least two women and......their collective belief their life will be better if they stay together. If only one decides their interest would be served better out of that particular marriage, then by by polygyny.

Not true
There are men in polygyny that don’t have wives in the same state, much less the same house.
Leaving the house doesn’t equal leaving the marriage.

How did you get idea I was talking about leaving housing? Only topic was leaving marriage.

So it only happens when at least all three sides consider it good.

Let’s go back to your original statement.
It isn’t true.
Men sometimes live in polygyny even if one of the wives don’t consider it good.
