In the olden days, our ancestors married as many wives as they deemed fit, as long as they could fend for their needs, and some will argue that those days had the best marriages.
Civilisation has come in the way of the tradition of polygamy, not yet deemed illegal like in the West, but it often raises eyebrows when news of a man marrying multiple wives surfaces.
Divorce is now at a high rate and encouraged, which has not helped the society; to some, marrying more than one wife keeps wives at bay.
A well-known musician from Delta State has announced his intention to marry three women on the same day. The groom, whose name is being kept private, shared his exciting news during a press conference, saying this event will celebrate love and togetherness.
The musician, famous for his colourful personality and unique music, said the wedding is set for later this month. He explained that this unusual arrangement is just the beginning; he hopes to have six wives in total. He believes in polygamy and wants a big, happy family.
Speaking to reporters, the musician expressed his gratitude to his brides for their support. “Love should have no boundaries,” he stated. “Each of my fiancées brings something special into my life, helping me grow and become a better person. This union is about creating a family based on understanding and shared dreams.”
The three brides, who joined him at the press event, also shared their excitement about the upcoming marriage. They emphasised that their relationship thrives on open communication and mutual encouragement.
It’s strange to the people who now wonder how three women could happily be married to one man; the question of whether it’s love or desperation pops up here and there.
The news has sparked various reactions from the public. Some people admire the musician’s honesty and courage to break conventional norms, while others criticise the decision, raising moral and cultural concerns.
Social media is buzzing with discussions about what this marriage means. Supporters argue that polygamy is an accepted practice in many Nigerian cultures and should not be frowned upon. On the other hand, critics question how such a relationship can work in the long run, pointing out the challenges of maintaining fairness among the wives.
Polygamy is legal in Nigeria under certain customary and Islamic laws, but it’s a controversial issue. Advocates see it as a cultural tradition that strengthens family ties, while opponents argue it is outdated in modern times.
Barrister Nneka Obi, a family law expert, shared her thoughts, saying, “While polygamy is allowed in some cases, the emotional and financial responsibilities involved should not be overlooked. The success of such relationships depends on the maturity and commitment of everyone involved.”
As preparations for the wedding move forward, many people in Delta State are eagerly looking forward to what is being called “the wedding of the year.” The musician promises a grand celebration, featuring live performances and cultural displays to mark the occasion.
For him, this day will be more than just a wedding; it will be a celebration of his in living life to the fullest. “I’m living my Delta Musician Plans to Marry Three Women at Once
