Eritrean men have been allegedly ordered to
marry more than one wife
– Any man who does not do so, goes to jail
according to reports
The government of Eritrea has reportedly ordered
men in the country to marry at least two wives. This
is said to be coming in order to 'help' the situation of
shortage of men caused by enormous casualties
suffered during the civil war with Ethiopia.
Two brides one groom
In the statement written in Arabic the government
gave the assurance that it will give financial support
to the polygamous marriages. Read the translated
version in part as posted by sde.co.ke below:
"Based 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," alleged the activists in their
translation.
May 1998 to June 2000 Eritrean-Ethiopian war saw
150,000 soldiers killed from either sides but having a
bigger impact on male population in the tiny Eritrea
nation who were then just million people in total.
UPDATE:
Yesterday, January 27, the news was revealed to be
hoax as the Eritrean laws prohibit bigamy and there
were as many men as women in the country as
against what the fake news claimed. The hoax was
first published online on a Kenyan news site called
Crazy Monday.
"Even a madman in (the Eritrean capital) Asmara
would know that this story was not true," an Eritrean
official told the BBC.
