MC Yaa Yeboah has passionately defended the practice of polygamy, advocating for men’s right to have multiple wives if they choose and are financially capable.
She argued that society’s criticism of men with more than one wife is misplaced and emphasized that women who choose to become second wives should not be judged or demeaned.
During a recent appearance on United Showbiz, Yaa Yeboah spoke against the stigma surrounding second wives, challenging the belief that a woman can “snatch” another’s husband.
“If a man says he wants to marry ten, fifteen, or even twenty wives and can afford it, let them be. I have also noticed something about our society, they don’t have a problem with wealthy men who have more than one wife. But when a woman is a second wife to an average person, they make her feel less of herself.
“They criticize the other woman for clinging to someone’s husband and not finding her own. If a married man doesn’t date the other woman, how will he be able to make his choice of a second wife? That is why I don’t believe the assertion that another woman can snatch someone’s husband. What evidence do you have? What did she snatch him with?” she boldly stated.
She pointed out that society tends to be more accepting of wealthy men with multiple wives but looks down on women who marry into polygamous relationships with less affluent men.
Yaa Yeboah questioned the validity of claims that a woman can “snatch” a husband, asserting that the decision lies with the man.
She argued that if a man seeks to marry a second wife, it is his choice, and society should respect that decision.
Furthermore, Yaa Yeboah called for greater acceptance of women who wish to be second wives, as long as they are aware of the implications.
“If a woman wants to be a second wife, let her be. As long as she understands the advantages and disadvantages of being a second wife, let her be. And to the first wives, if your husband wants to bring a second wife and you don’t want it or the stress that comes with it, leave the marriage. Life can be so simple,” she stated.
She also suggested that first wives who are uncomfortable with their husbands taking another wife should consider leaving the marriage, rather than enduring unnecessary stress.
She also voiced her skepticism about the growing number of marriage counselors on social media, suggesting that many of them offer advice despite facing challenges in their own marriages.
