Why does a first wife agree to it?

A few years ago, Dr Wan Zumusni Wan Mustapha, or Zunie for short, worked on a research project with feminist organisation Sisters in Islam, which surveyed and interviewed more than 1,000 people in polygamous families: husbands, first wives, second wives and children.

The researchers found most of the first wife are coerced or pushed into accepting their husband’s decision.

“Some voice their dissatisfaction but some, in order to save the marriage or for the sake of the children, will just go on with it,” Zunie says.
