It has been authoritatively confirmed that the country’s King, King Mswati III has decreed that every male adult MUST marry at least five wives, with a warning of sending to prison anyone that violates the order. He gave assurance that his government would pay for the marriage ceremonies and buy houses for men that marry at least five wives.
King Mswati warned that any man or woman who opposes the decision “will face a life sentence”.
He stressed, while speaking in Mbabane Swaziland that adult males should begin to carry out his order from March 2019 or face the consequences of failing to do so.
On the strength of the King’s request on males from other countries to find their ways to his country for the purpose of marrying no fewer than five women free, men from other countries, especially the neighbouring South Africa are thronging Swaziland.
Information has it that the Department of Home Affairs in South African has been witnessing an increasing number of men coming to get their passports sorted so they can travel to Swaziland to get wives for themselves.
King Mswati III is confirmed to be having 15 wives and 25 children even as his father and predecessor has more than 70 wives and 150 children.
The King was quoted as saying that Swaziland is facing a very serious problem as there are more women than men in the country.
Men are therefore required and expected to take more wives so that every woman gets a husband. The country which is known to be full of virgins, is also said to have more women than men.
