solemn day is a village in Togo West
Africa its residents members of the Kota
coolie tribe practice Islam here a
woman’s main role is to serve her
husband and Islam’s tolerance of
polygamy the practice of taking more
than one spouse at the same time is in
line with many African traditions chugga
DOMA poom Tony is about to wet his third
wife the elaborate ceremony will last
three days many African cultures let a
man wet as many women as he can afford
but the Quran limits Muslim husbands to
four wives hoon who knees first two
wives Raina and Kara seem are preparing
wedding food they say it makes sense to
bring a new woman into the family
another wife means another set of hands
to do the work before taking the third
wife he informed me he wanted to take
the new wife and I told him that I agree
that is a good idea because I travel a
lot for example and when I am away who
is going to prepare his food
at nightfall the new bride hua Silla is
brought to the center of the village the
veil will cover her face until the
ceremonies are over other young women
playfully chide her for trading the joys
of youth for the married life you’re
leaving us you’re abandoning us you are
losing your freedom meanwhile the
village authorities meet with the brides
and grooms families to give their formal
endorsement of the marriage
we are sent by mr. Ellie who wants your
daughter to marry his son I see a lot do
you agree I do you believe a Mylar green
male how did he give you my daughter
from today to the end the bride’s family
paid a dowry months ago this is a final
symbolic exchange that formalizes the
agreement as the officials leave the
formal part of the wedding is over now
the celebrations can begin as pomp unni
leads his wives
the entire village gathers for the
wedding entertainment it starts with
traditional Takei dancing
finally whom pune and his wives receive
gifts of coins and they danced together
sealing the new marriage
first in second wives Raina and kerosene
lead the bride to her house
while women sing and welcome and warn
her to beware of jealousy the new bride
isn’t worried
I don’t care about jealousy I care about
fun and clothes if I have money and my
husband gives me what I need I don’t
care about jealousy with three days of
ceremony at an end the family can begin
to establish its new domestic balance at
least until company selects his next
wife
