Mistresses and wives clash over hand-outs:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...an-miners.html

Authorities at Camp Hope have had to deal with a rush of women coming forward claiming to be first in the Chilean miners' affections in order to receive government handouts.

At least five wives have been forced to come face to face with mistresses whose existence was kept from them by their husbands, who have been trapped more than 2,300ft below since a cave in on August 5.

One miner has four women fighting over him in an effort to claim compensation offered to the families of those facing between three to four months underground until a rescue shaft can reach them.

I spent two months in Chile in 1994, and it seemed common in the culture for husbands to have mistresses.
