Abstract :
The majority of women surveyed in this study denounce this practice and still accept it because it is a divine order, a social practice without denying the consequences. Polygamy is perceived as a mysterious phenomenon, purely private, governed by customary, religious and radical rules. This study will allow us to reflect on the consequences of polygamy for women in order to improve the situation. We are very motivated to carry out this study, because the number of divorce by polygamy is too high in the whole territory. The public opinion very often equates polygamy with Islam, whereas this religion has imposed certain conditions to access this business. Thus, the system of "turns" specific to the life of polygamous households, and the impossibility of negotiating these "turns" or exchanging them, institutes barriers between couples formed by the husband without the opinion of his wives. This situation increases womens frustration and is reprehensible.
