Answer to Question 1

It is found among barren women in polygynous households. The advantages of womanwoman marriage are that a barren woman can raise her status substantially by producing male heirs through a female partner; a fertile woman raises her status and secures legitimacy for her offspring, and the relationship overall is usually less harsh and demanding.
