LOL! No kidding! As much as I adore the one I have, I wouldn’t wish two spouses of any kind on anybody. :-)

This cannot work. The number of boys and girls born is almost equal.

It simply is unworkable, because the male to female ratio always hovers near 1-to-1...When the male death rate is much higher due to hunting misfortunes, accidents and fighting it skews the ratio. Those societies are the ones which typically engage in polygamy.

If they’re not aborting half the men it means this sicko culture will be intentionally creating surplus men... Men who will become the miserable storm troopers of the cult.
Evil people.

Shortage of men due to the war.
And most of those men left are likely wealthier than average.
So the idea here is to get wealthier men to have 2+ wives and kids instead of running around single.
Makes sense for the survival of a nation

To: thackney
because I was also curious, from wikipedia: The undemarcated border with Ethiopia is the primary external issue currently facing Eritrea. Eritrea’s relations with Ethiopia turned from that of cautious mutual tolerance, following the 30-year war for Eritrean independence, to a deadly rivalry that led to the outbreak of hostilities from May 1998 to June 2000 which claimed approximately 70,000 casualties from both sides.
To: alexander_busek
As abhorrent as it may be to those of us who cherish Western values, what the Eritreans are doing might actually be a reasonable approach, at least for them.It will improve life by at least 50% for the wives who usually "have a headache."

I saw this story this morning, so I asked an Eritrean coworker (now a U.S. citizen) about it today. He told me that it is total nonsense, and that Eritrea still has laws against bigamy. Apparently this load of crap was invented by a Somali and published in Arabic media.
Sorry to disappoint all of you. Everything you see on the Internet is not true.
