A proposal by the South African government to legalise polyandry - when a woman has more than one husband at the same time - has led to howls of protest from conservative quarters.
This does not surprise Professor Collis Machoko, a renowned academic on the topic.
The objections are about control, he told the BBC. African societies are not ready for true equality. We don t know what to do with women we cannot control.
South Africa has one of the world s most liberal constitutions, embracing same-sex marriages for all and polygamy for men.
