A man must treat all of his wives equally; however, it has been reported that these regulations are rarely followed. A common reason for a man to take another wife would be a woman’s infertility.[1] Due to the stigma placed on divorce in Afghan society, polygamous relationships are adopted to cope with differences between a husband and wife.[2] Other reports have made it apparent that most Afghan women would rather be a man's third or fourth wife than remain single, even if she is abused or unfairly treated by her husband.[3] It is more common for wealthy men to marry several wives. Practicing polygamous marriages allows men to acquire more land shares, property, wealth, are children.
