A South Sudanese woman, Josephine Abyei, has congratulated her husband, Mayen Koor, for marrying a second wife.
In a Facebook post on April 7, Josephine expressed her support for her husband’s decision to bring another wife, Arual Cyer Mayardit, into the family.


“Congratulations my husband for bringing us our second wife,” she wrote.
Her post has since gathered applauds from many on social media.
Kamilo Kuch wrote, “Congratulations to both of you. Keep it up for supporting and standing behind your husband.”

“Congratulations to Mayen and Arual. Having such a good hearted first wife is a blessing,” Deng Peter commented.
Edo Baba wrote on Facebook, “A good woman who understands that marriageable men are scarce, so she allowed her husband to help depopulate the street.
“Polygamy will help to rid the streets of women. Josephine Abyei is a good woman unlike queen of the streets who doesn’t want to be numbered.”

Joan Masika wrote, “Josephine Abyei is a good woman she will go to heaven. She congratulated her husband for marrying a second wife. She’s happy, no drama, no nothing.”
Agoth Alisto, however, doubted Josephine’s sincerity saying, “This is not enough The words are too short maybe there’s hidden secrets. She has just congratulated him but inside her maybe she’s not happy.”
Chan Baak Deng also wrote, “This woman is not congratulating her husband wholeheartedly and deep down, there is a hidden agenda.”

Another Nigerian woman, Buithat Lawal, took to social media to announce that she is looking for another wife for her husband.
She clarified that she does not want a co-wife who will be jealous or cause problems, but someone kind, loving, wise, and with good character.
