Are Second Wives Going To Hell???

Mama Abdul walked fearlessly into the parlour, where Mama Aisha was already balanced, watching her favorite soap "The Jonhsons". Just as the show was cracking her up, Mama Abdul grabbed the tv remote controller, changed the channel to trace urban and started dancing to Iyanya's hit "Oreo".  Mama Abdul was still a young blood, full of youthful energy. Mama Aisha watched her dance for a while in unalloyed surprise. The next 2 minutes saw a resounding slap across
Mama Abdul's face. Mama Aisha had suddenly become uncontrollably angry, hell was let loose. After a few seconds of shock, recollection and swift decision, Mama Abdul retaliated. The battle line was drawn. The wrestling match had started, even without an umpire. Both gripped each other, as was the traditional battle model for ladies, and the house was in chaos. It was half way into the battle that Alhaji Usman drove in, walked up the stairs into the parlour and roared: who are these mad women? In my house? What? At the sound of their husbands voice, there was immediate disengagement, and a grave yard silence filled the house. What happened? He roared? Mama Abdul quickly answered, she doesn't allow me watch TV in this house, so I had to do something about it. After she had finished, mama Aisha started: Chief, she had the courage to slap me simply because I have no Male child. Chief I am tired!!!
    Chief Usman sat down, crossed his legs in a rather comforting manner, looked at his wives and shook his head. So you had the boldness to slap your your elder? En!!! She slapped me first, mama Abdul cut in sharply. Now chief was a bit confused. Chief Oo!!! You must do something oo!!! Mama Aisha yelled. Still in his rather confused state, the second half which would see chief Usman as the umpire broke out. Husband snatcher!!! Shame less brat!!! Ohhhhhhh!!! She shouted as  she hit her hands on her lips to produce a hooting sound. Mama Abdul patiently waited for her to finish, and then she started: Just look at you, Chief married me because I have everything you don't. That she said while turning around to show Mama Aisha her killer curves. Now you call me husband snatcher?? You expired commodity.  Enough, Chief shouted again, but this time with furry in his tone. At this the ladies waited with anxiety at what chief was about to do. He started his short sermon thus; You people disappoint me. You say you're Christians, you keep telling me to abandon my faith and come to your church, is this how you behave? Mama Aisha, why did you slap her? He demanded. Chief, she's not a Christian. I am the only christian here. She's simply a husband snatcher, and she will burn in hell fire. No second wife is admitted in heaven, that what my bible says. Mama Abdul laughed with scorn and retorted "my bride price was paid in full" okay? I am a wife just like you are. Chief smiled at them both, stood up, and took his leave.

Who was at fault? Mama Aisha? Mama Abdul? Or both?? Now here's the big question....... Are Second Wives going to hell? Since they are both Christians, who is the heaven-approved wife? If being a second wife is not biblical, what should all christian second wives do?? Leave their husbands in search of unmarried men? Leave their husbands and live as single mothers? I'm not in any way a judge, but even the bible says a man shall leave his father, mother, people, and cling to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. So, solve the puzzle and generate the right answer.
