According to a study of polygamy in Malaysia, "65% of the husbands interviewed would recommend polygamy as a family institution. But only 25% of first wives and about 50% of second wives held this view." Do you suspect that the lack of support for polygyny among wives of a single husband is generally the case wherever polygyny is found?

Actually, polygamy benefits children the least, in that it reduces the number of parents earning income per child. Essentially, it reduces the money that can be spent per child, as there are fewer parents for this child.
