“Is this for real? Do they not understand what it means to propose to a married man?”
Despite him having already been married, situations like that weren’t entirely unheard of. For example, there were cases where someone became a concubine.

“I'll follow whatever course you want to take. However, and maybe this isn't my place to say... but isn't this just ridiculous?”
