.."the society escapes my memory now..."

Could it be because this is the exception rather than the rule ?

"I have seen nothing to indicate that the "wives" were coerced into the arrangement."

Where in the Gleaner account, does it say that his wife was given the option of saying "no" to bringing the Trini into the home ?

Or where does it indicate that Denroy would have backed down had she said so ?

"The fact that wives may or may not have been allowed to have multiple spouses is neither here nor there."

To a man at any rate.

Mi fren, a dat mek it discriminatory !

"The fact still remain that (at least in my opinion) if a so dem want live society should mind dem own business and leave dem alone."

Seems to me slaveowners in the American South made a similar argument not too long ago.
