A Somalian woman, Haleema Muhammed, has expressed that she prefers to marry into a polygamous home.

Muhammed who was once married to a man with three wives explained that there were no responsibilities in the marriage.

Polygamous marriage

She expressed that all the wives had a good relationship with each other and helped each other out at all times.

According to her, the hardest thing about a polygamous marriage is that you always had to wait for your turn.

She said: “The hardest thing, I would say is sitting on the table and just waiting your turn. So he (her ex-husband) will be here one night and there one night and there one night.”

Muhammed, however, expressed that she liked the fact that they were more because she had less to do at home. “I liked it, the fact that he was already married because it was less responsibility.”

“One of the wives was a very good friend of mine, if she goes on holiday she would leave the kids with me and if I go on holiday, I would leave my kids with her.”

Although the marriage is over, Muhammed says she would like to marry into a polygamous home again.

She said: “I would only go for a polygamous marriage.”
