MC
Yaa
Yeboah
stirred
up
a
heated
debate
on
social
media
following
her
support
for
polygamy.
During
an
appearance
on
UTV
over
the
weekends,
MC
Yaa
Yeboah
boldly
supported
the
practice
of
polygamy
and
further
argued
that
men
should
have
the
freedom
to
marry
multiple
women
if
they
wish.
Provided
they
are
financially
capable
of
doing
so.
Her
comments
have
since
sparked
widespread
discussion,
drawing
both
praise
and
backlash
from
netizens.
During
the
show,
Yaa
Yeboah
did
not
mince
words
as
she
called
out
the
double
standards
in
society
that
often
condemn
men
who
marry
more
than
one
wife
while
also
harshly
judging
women
who
agree
to
become
second
wives.
According
to
her,
these
societal
biases
unfairly
stigmatize
those
who
engage
in
polygamous
relationships,
even
though
polygamy
has
been
historically
and
culturally
accepted
in
many
communities.
In
her
own
words;
“They
criticise
the
other
woman
for
clinging
to
someone’s
husband
and
not
finding
her
own.
If
a
married
man
doesn’t
date
the
other
woman,
how
will
he
be
able
to
make
his
choice
of
a
second
wife?
That
is
why
I
don’t
believe
the
assertion
that
another
woman
can
snatch
someone’s
husband.
What
evidence
do
you
have?
What
did
she
snatch
him
with?”
She
also
jumped
to
the
defence
of
women
who
also
wish
to
become
second
wives
and
suggested
that
first
wives
who
are
uncomfortable
with
the
idea
could
bow
out
of
the
marriage
since
their
goals
do
not
align.
“If
a
woman
wants
to
be
a
second
wife,
let
her
be.
As
long
as
she
understands
the
advantages
and
disadvantages
of
being
a
second
wife,
let
her
be.
And
to
the
first
wives,
if
your
husband
wants
to
bring
a
second
wife
and
you
don’t
want
it
or
the
stress
that
comes
with
it,
leave
the
marriage.
Life
can
be
so
simple,”
She
went
ahead
to
criticise
the
influx
of
marriage
counsellors,
suggesting
that
many
of
them
offer
advice
despite
struggling
with
their
own
marital
issues.
“These
days
there
are
a
lot
of
marriage
counsellors
on
social
media,
I
don’t
believe
in
those
things.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who
claim
they
are
marriage
counsellors
but
their
married
life
is
a
mess,”–
she
stated.
