In Indonesia, second wives are found in a harem through an application (5 photos + 1 video)
How do men find wives who agree to live in a polygamous marriage as their second or even third? Some people can’t even start their first one. Indonesia even developed its own application for this.
Let's do polygamy
Indonesian programmer Lindu Pranayama was once on a dating site, looking at other people's profiles, and noticed that there were a lot of married men there. And on their profile they openly write that they do not need a mistress, but a second and third wife.
Well, why do you need so much, you weakling?
But there is no special filter in the search engine for such people. And Lindu decided that he had found his gold mine. He wrote the dating app "AyoPoligami", which translates to "Let's do polygamy."
Who needs this anyway?
There are many people in Indonesia, the population there is large, and 80% of them are Muslims. And yes, polygamy is technically allowed here, but finding and maintaining a second or third wife is not easy.
This is what the picture from the application looks like. View of a perfect family, everyone is smiling
According to Muslim tradition, the first wife must not be against the second, and then the court must give permission. Except for cases where the husband tyrannizes the first wife and forces her to give consent, there are also peaceful, happy cases of polygamy.
For example, the first wife is disabled and has a serious illness that interferes with marital life. Well, most often, the wife cannot have children. So a man can legally extend his family line without leaving his first wife.
Did everyone like the app?
There are also successful polygamous marriages, well, that's what they say anyway
Not everyone, part of society believes that this is how the concept of polygamy is normalized in society for everyone. Because the main problem of a polygamous marriage is that the rules for taking a second wife are almost always not respected.
If a man wants to get another wife, he threatens, bullies or even beats the first one so that she gives supposedly legal consent. The percentage of voluntary polygamous marriages in the total number is quite low.
The video is in Indonesian, but the footage is interesting
They grumble, but they download! According to statistics, “AyoPoligami” was installed 37 thousand times in six months.
Lind even had to turn off the application to enter stricter identity verification. Otherwise, under the guise of a second wife, men were looking for a mistress, and this is simply morally unacceptable. In general, it is difficult to maintain morality among app clients when it comes to such slippery matters.
By the way, I wrote about bride’s makeup in Indonesia, it’s really like roulette, you can’t recognize the girl in reality
He is even thinking of allowing registration only for men who provide a letter of consent from their current wives.
It’s funny that Lindu himself recently married a woman he met on his own AyoPolygamy app. True, this is his first marriage and first wife, although the girl agreed to be the second. She's lucky!
