I Share My Husband with 2 Other Wives (Maasai Marriage Story)

We travel to a Maasai village in Tanzania to learn from Yayai about polygyny, co-wives, and how marriage and extended family life work in her culture. We visit her household, discuss changing food and cattle-keeping traditions, and hear Stephanie’s story of living in the village with her Maasai husband. We reflect on how different cultural ideas about love and marriage can be, while also seeing how climate change and expanding farmland are affecting the Maasai way of life.
