One peasant had two wives. For this he was brought to court. The judge asked: “What made you commit such a crime?” “I, sir, do not consider what I did a crime,” the peasant explained. - I have not two wives, but one. After all, what is a wife? Everyone has known for a long time that a wife is half a person. They say “my half” or “my dear half”. So I wanted to have a whole wife, and so I took two halves.
