Big question is, how do you support all the children you're responsible for from those 13 wives.
Lot's of polygynous arrangements make the wives draw welfare and food stamps from the government to pay for it all. Most men who engage in the poligamous arrangements are outliers and not mainstream society. Therefore, they can't possibly afford to support 13 wives and 24 kids. They're living off the grid, except for what they can hustle from Social Services. I've known some, in Arizona.

I agree with this, I saw a tv show about a mormon guy out west living in trailers with alot of wives and they were all on welfare. Most of these multi-wife families seem dirt poor, having a big family is tough these days but the numbers of kids these people were having was ridiculous .
What really is a problem in these big cities in the middle east where its part of the tradition to have tons of wives and kids and these cities are overpopulated. Men dont have the ability to support several households so the amount of support received by a certain wife depends on whether or not she was favorite with the husband. Thats a recipe for trouble.
You number 1 wife baby!
