Woman can marry two men

A woman has the liberty to choose a man even while she is married to one. Usually, in the cultural setup of the Wodaabe, men have little or no say in the areas of sex and marital union.

Parents pick the first husband while the women pick the men of their choice at the Gerewol. The practice commonly referred to as “Sigisbesim.”
