How it beGAN ..

        The son marries his wife = the love of his life..

His mother : “ Hoi is it too much to ask, your wife at least be from the same tribe? Besides her table manners are deplorable. Also have a look at her front upper incisors if you would, how are MY grandsons going to turn out ?

And the way she walks make the duck prouder .. and it looks likely there are degenerative genes lurking dormant somewhere up the line.. bla bla bla…”

   So he, ‘obedient’ son (btw surname is GAN) that he is,  [inheritance of heirloom NOT yet decided, with his own fiscal expectations high], marries the 2nd woman =  the love of his life too.

   And if you get what this is driving at that was how POLYGAMY began -  a win win for EVERYONE

                               

                                   [except the wives]?

Look closer, the wives (at last count  26) are having a HELL of a time raising HELL in the household just for the heck of it, amongst each other, as a payback to everyone else, & as the son is going to be rich, once MiL goes away, can there be a better pastime?
