Veteran Nollywood actress Ronke Oshodi Oke has shared her thoughts on polygamy, saying she would not stop her husband from marrying another woman as long as he could support both families financially.
The actress spoke about this in an interview with Behind The Fame TV, where she talked about marriage, men, and relationships.
She said that if her husband chose to take a second wife, she would accept it, but she would not want to live in the same house as the other woman.
She believes the right thing would be for her husband to get a separate apartment for the second wife, instead of bringing her into the home they already share.
She said: “A man has to respect his wife because if he wants to marry a second wife, he should bring her home and introduce her to the first wife properly. A wise woman should know that there is no big deal if a man marries a second wife, but the only thing is that I can’t stay in the same house together with the second wife.
“If my husband can take care of the second wife and he has the financial capacity, I see no reason he can’t marry a second wife. If marrying a second wife will not stop him from giving me money, he should go ahead and do it. Some men are married to one wife, but they have a lot of girlfriends.
“I can allow my husband to marry a second wife, and he’s free to have sex with other girls. I don’t trust men at all, including my son, even though he’s only 13 years old now.”
