Sharing husband improve health and wealth of family
"Our study suggests that highly polygynous, predominantly Maasai,
villages do poorly not because of polygyny, but because of vulnerability
to drought, low service provision and broader socio-political
disadvantages," said lead author David Lawson at the London School of
Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
The researchers highlighted the
importance of local context in studying the health implications of
cultural practices, and suggest that in some settings, prohibiting
polygyny could be disadvantageous to women by restricting their marriage
options.
