what did people think about Modou's second marriage

Modou is the deceased husband of Ramatoulaye, described as a stereotypically perfect husband: charming, handsome, and scholarly. However, he also harbors an extreme selfishness, taking on a second wife even when it dreadfully hurt his first one. Many people thought the second marriage was okay, especially Modou's mother. Modou's mother never approved of Ramatoulaye. She found a 17 year old girl and told Modou that he would disgrace the family if he did not marry her.
