Summary
Pada awal-awal kehidupan berpoligami, informan pernah merasa tidak nyaman dengan kehadiran istri kedua dalam kehidupan rumah tangganya. Ketika informan sudah resmi hidup berpoligami, informan senantiasa bermusyawarah dengan suami dan istri kedua dari suaminya untuk mengatasi permasalahan-permasalahan yang dihadapi dalam rumah tangga mereka. Agar kehidupan berpoligami yang akan mereka lakukan penuh dengan keberkahan, informan meminta kepada suami dan calon istri keduanya untuk sholat meminta petuntuk dari Allah. Bahkan ketika suami ingin berpoligami, informan langsung memberikan ijin poligami tersebut, namun ada satu syarat yang disyaratkan oleh informan, syarat tersebut adalah calon istri kedua dari suaminya harus wanita yang direkomendasikan oleh informan, artinya informanlah yang kan mencarikan istri kedua untuk suaminya. Itu malah justru bukan awal mbak, bukan awal, itu malah pertengahan. (W1.S2:382-383) Trus empat bulan dia istilahe njarak terus to, akhire daripada nanti malah ee..perang, tak suruh pindah, tak belikan rumah di sana, tak suruh pindah sana, (W1.S2:512-514)
