"Hi, Honey, I'm home! Guess what, I brought us home a new wife. You don't like the idea? Well, you could always get a divorce, but that'd mean dividing up our assets THREE ways."
That's what is happening here--a widow is being dragged into court to divide up her property among her husband's paramours. This widow is no longer THE wife, but only the first wife. Like the Muslims, all we have to do is repudiate the place of the first wife to make way for the second. Unlike the Muslims, it won't stop legally at four. Think this will be a good deal for your daughter? Either marriage means a thing, or it means nothing.
I like your thinking. I agree totally.
