In Niketche, Paulina Chiziane, in a sociocultural and ideological context in which monogamy does not present itself in terms of an entirely consensual reality (Mozambique), problematizes the feminine condition. With an undeniable emancipatory spirit, she not only explicitly denounces the way in which the ancestral custom of polygamy subjugates the woman, but she also suggests the end of polygamy. How? Associating it with a whole semantic of death.
