As we have many women with no husbands, so also we have many men with no wives so no point taken there. Okonkwo will divorce his wife today because like you said, it is today, not yesterday. Polygamy didn't help the marriage or keep them married, culture did.
i don't know about women being hypergamous as a whole, there are many women who marry unsuccessful men. Happy marriage is not necessarily by money or status. It is more by working on the timeless rules of practical love, submission and forgiveness.

Stop living in la la land.
1) By far, most martial problems are related to money
2) Polygamy kept them together. If polygamy were not allowed, no amount of culture would keep them together
3) There are no high-value men with no wives unless they so choose. Not the case with high-value women

The whole world has marital problems, marital problems are not divorce and must not lead to divorce. Or do you suppose that there's no marital problems in polygamous families?

Many people were very poor in the past, both monogamous and polygamous families. They stuck together. Their lack of money or wives didn't separate them. The submission and perhaps dominance of the women were more important factors with the culture/tradition not money. Don't infer what you don't mean to, poverty is not a major cause of divorce before or now.

Like i mentioned already, i don't know about women being hypergamous as a whole.

The best answer to a f00l.

I won't insult ur father or ur family members. They r wonderful people.
I don't understand how u mistakenly crashed in2 a family of nice people.
Place ur hand on ur head, let me pray for u; Heavenly Father deliver this f00l today IJN, Amen.

I will kp saying it.
Not everyone shares same name with your dad.

That Foool you called me is his name.

Same you have inherited from him and same your kids are inheriting from you.
It goes on and in your family.

Bros I don't know where you're going with this. Or you just arguing for argument sake.
Once again:
1) By far, most martial problems are related to money
(Which happens to be second leading cause of divorce in Nigeria. See below)
2) If polygamy is outlawed, a man MUST divorce his wife b4 marrying another. Culture has nothing to do with it
3) There are no high-value men who can't find wives.
There are plenty high-value women who can't find husbands (and truth is, many are willing not to be the only wife of a high-value man. Hence Oba's 5th wife is a successful medical director! Regina Daniels - 5th wife!)

Like i already stated, problem is everywhere, all over the world. No marriage without problem, yesterday, today and tomorrow. We are not discussing problems but DIVORCE. Problem doesn't have to lead to divorce where the keys of a happy marriage are operating.
Those things you listed as causes of divorce are little branches. They have always existed and exist in polygamous homes too in multiple ways. The root causes of divorce remain a lack of the marriage keys practical love, submission, forgiveness.
Again, i don't know about high value or low value, there's no meter or tape to determine that quite subjective. What we all know is that the natural/common woman craves to be under a man, it's a curse. It has nothing to do with high or low value whatever that means.
