Marry 5 Wives Or Be Jailed – Swaziland King Orders Country Men

By -

The King of Swaziland, King Mswati III has reportedly made a declaration in the country that men are required to marry at least five wives or go to jail.

The order, according to IHarare, is to ensure every woman gets a husband as it is believed that men taking more wives will help women get husbands.

The monarch noted that there are more women than men in Swaziland which he noted was a very serious problem for a country known to be full of virgins.

King Mswati himself has 15 wives and 25 children, while his father and predecessor had more than 70 wives and over 150 children.
