Men Reportedly Ordered by Government to Marry at Least 2 Wives or Be Jailed in Eritrea
According to reports, a statement allegedly issued by the Eritrean government orders men to marry at least two wives or risk going to jail owing to the acute shortage of men caused by enormous casualties suffered during their civil war with Ethiopia.
A translation of the statement issued in Arabic by the government of the small nation with 4 million people allegedly reads:
āBased on the law of God in polygamy, and given the circumstances in which the country is experiencing in terms of men shortage, the Eritrean department of Religious Affairs has decided on the following:
First that every man shall marry at least two women and the man who refuses to do so shall be subjected to life imprisonment with hard labour.The woman who tries to prevent her husband from marrying another wife shall be punished to life imprisonment.”
Is this for real?

And to think that there are more Christians than Muslims in the country makes it even funnier and insane.
Are they for Real? Like seriously?
Am totally dumbfounded and shocked at this kind law
Hope the government will provide funds too for the men to take care of the wives and their kids.This sounds more like a law to favour members of the cabinet who desire more women but are afraid of the negative reactions from their wives and the society

Nawaooo…They should encourage married couples to meet fertility experts in other to produce more male than forcing their men to marry two wives…
