It is actually advantageous for the man because the more wives he has, the more work he can distribute to them and the less responsibility for himself. For example, Harjo explains 'Liza's tasks “help me build this little farm” and Jennie for the possibility of “maybe… [we] will have some kids here then” (Oskison 238). There were no obligations binding him to Jennie. Harjo should allow Jennie to marry another man. It's a shame especially for the second wife who never had that husband's sole attention. It's also unfortunate that the first wife goes from being the only woman to being one of two options. It is also wrong for a woman to willingly choose to be a second wife and choose to have two husbands at the same time. Women should be able to do what they want just as men should be able to do what they want; the hiring of two spouses is illegitimate. There must be a man and a woman per family. Wives in this situation must receive the attention of a single man and have the advantage of managing themselves
