Most women who are trapped in polygamous marriages despise it. There are exceptions to the rule, but if you want to see some really heinous behavior, look at the behavior of women who are one of multiple wives of men with power. Poisoning, infanticide, murder and suicide are common.
This is because most women in polygamous marriages are also in backward, third-world hellhole countries, or lunatic sects that practice polygamy only for the sake of gratifying the ego of some dickhead man. There are, however, people who practice polygamy who do so in a loving and considerate way. They just also tend to keep a low profile.
Mormon women in polygamous marriages are traditionally equally miserable. Read some of the literature on the original mormons.
And polygamous marriages in third world countries are not necessarily simply to satisfy egos of men. They are to create connections between families and tribes, and in many cases to keep sisters together who would rather not part.
