The study used qualitative paradigm wherein data was collected through in-depth interviews with 22 respondents in the targeted locales. The collected data was thematically analysed and findings of the study suggest that polygamous marriage is a common social and cultural practice in the region which has certain social, psychological and financial ramifications for families, spouses, and children.
