I never really thought about this before, but if it is our understanding
that each man only had one "zivug rishon",  polygamy implies some women
will end up in this Leah role; "destined" to be second fiddle?  And when
the gemara says that before birth the bat kol says bat ploni lploni,
does that include those who are destined not to be a "true zivug"?
