   @CharlesSynyard @PonyPanda as a group survival strategy it does cause poverty and tension in the family. it does work in places where there is a disproportionately larger amount of women to men for raising birthrates, but if food security is an issue it risks undernourishment, especially for the children of second wives. the reason why those ngos even exist is because they aren't the elite in backwards countries. an analysis of the finances of polygamy: https://mises.org/mises-wire/polygamy-problem-economic-development

     @mactonite @PonyPanda This is often claimed, clearly to stoke envy and make it seem like the husbands of several wives won at life unfairly, yet globalist NGOs say out of the other side of their lips that polygyny is associated with poverty. This means it is not the elite getting all the women. The lucky men may often have some property, but they by no means monopolize the women.
     In a traditional society, a woman’s father marries her off. Why shouldn’t he be able to pair his daughter with whomever he thinks is the best prospect, rich or not?

     @PonyPanda they aren't able to have wives because polygamy means the elite gets all the women
