⚖️ Polygyny: rulings & justice · #115
Is justice only about spending the night, or does it include daily attention?
Justice includes attention and treatment, not just counting the nights in each home. A wife can get her turn and still feel neglected if her husband is present only in body while his heart and mind are elsewhere. When you are with a wife, give her real attention: listen to her, help with her affairs, and do not keep contacting the other home without need. Warm attention cannot be weighed like money, but sincere effort is still felt. Ask each wife what makes her feel valued. See the rota in practice.
