One unintended consequence would be that women who wanted more than one husband could have them. For example, I could use one husband for earning money, one for fixing the housse and the car, and one for enjoying. This would be especially good for us older women who often end up well to do and alone when our overworked husband dies of a heart attack.
And I say have at it.
Working job — been there, done that. Not interested. Fixing job— not skilled at that. Will have to pass. Marital “ enjoyment” job — am interested. But Send picture first please.

The question is, would you interest them to be your spouses?
There is a reason why polygamy exists in certain societies and it is not as widespread as you think.
Wealthy educated muslim men in craphole muslim nations looks extremely appealing to females because the rest of surrounding males are barely rich enough to afford a pair of pants and enough beans to stay alive for himself, let alone to support a family.
For that very reason it makes perfect sense to share one successful husband between a group of women. It simply makes a way better quality of living (at least at survival rate), not to mention the whole new level of opportunities to their children.
For obvious reason, with social welfare and the rest of such crap, this practice may not be allowed in civilized societies.
No offense, but go ahead and try if you can offer something like that rich Arabs can to your potential multiple partners, which I somehow doubt.
Point noted.

Sorry Glee, but your dream scenario in a society such as ours would never happen. Marriage is a transaction, in other words each side has to believe they’ve gotten a good deal or they won’t enter into the transaction.
1. So what will you give the husband that earns the money? Remember you also have a boy toy, so unless you’re a nympho, nookie may not be the answer. (And why do you need him in the first place since you say you’re well off from the early demise of your previous provider?)
2. And what about the handyman husband? How are you going to keep him happy?
3. As for your boy toy husband, since you’re “older” he may want something in return for his “services”. What will that be?
May I suggest something else? Stay single, take good care of the money your dead hubby left you, screw around with one or more boy toy, and hire a handyman when the faucets leak.
Better yet, find a good man who will be a reliable trusting companion in your old age and enjoy life together.
