Marry 5 wives or be jailed, Swaziland King orders country men
The King of Swaziland, King Mswati III has made a declaration in the country that from June 2019, men will be required to marry at least five wives or go to jail.
A statement by the King called for all men in the country to marry at least five wives, assuring the men that government would pay for the marriage ceremonies and buy houses for them.
“Here’s the deal, marry at least five wives and you’re assured that the government will pay for the marriage ceremonies and buy houses for them.”
King Mswati warned that any man or woman who opposes the decision “will face a life sentence”.
Reports say that the decision also came following the increasing number of virgins and scarcity of men in the country. King Mswati himself has 15 wives and 25 children, while his father and predecessor had more than 70 wives and over 150 children.
