Overview

In a context where marriage in Senegal has become a luxury for women, most single men only marry women under the age of 23. Many men who have the option of marrying multiple women are restricted by their matrimonial property regime because they signed monogamous contracts. As a result, three women have joined forces to change this situation. They share a common goal: a husband for every woman.
