Same.

My awoowe married a second wife some years ago and my dad is entertaining the same idea in the near future, but I hope he doesn't. Greatgrandfathers were different story though, wives were like girlfriends to them.

Nah

my awoowe married a 2nd wife too

but my dad has only married my mom

Both my grandfathers only married once and that's it

That´s true. My older brother went to kenya few years ago and he met this old lady who was ´cida´ and it turns out she was awoowe´s ex/wife and which was a total suprise because we never heard of her let alone their marriage

According to my grandfather's last wife, he married 34 times. I have hundreds of first degree cousins. I think my mom's family is one of the few Somali families this size!
