South African man marries four women at once
October 15, 2009Why settle for just one bride when you can get four marriages out of the way at once? It’s like buying in bulk!
At least one of them looks happy….

thanks again to Silvana for the submission!
Ain’t it great to be a Zulu or Muslim man? You can collect women, mix and match them, screw them all and they have to remain faithful to you.
I am with ya it is great to see! Not many people feel the same way.
Take Care

If these women are happy with this situation and agreed to it then more power to them. Just because you don’t think its right “Anon” doesn’t mean its not going to happen.
The idea of a polygamous relationship sends shivers up my spine. I could never be happy in one of those marriages, but like Fatima said, they were all willing to do so.
I’m suprised they’re fine for seeing him one day of the week. That isn’t marriage, that’s just a booty-call.
The idea of sharing my husband makes me feel ill… but you know, if they’re all consensual and happy about it, who am I to judge?
Anna,
dont knock the sharing thing until you have tried it – the sex life will get boring in ten years and you will look at ways to spice it up a bit.. swapping is great – then dogging – then cuckolding – marriage is great at first, but you have still got a long way to go and a lot to learn!
Wow. Condescending comment is condescending. Not everyone needs to look outside a marriage in order to “spice it up.” Some couples (my parents come to mind–over forty years, and they still act like newlyweds) are quite capable of generating their own excitement for decade after decade. For all you know, Anon has been married longer than you have and hasn’t felt the need to go “dogging” yet–and never will.
To each their own…but creepy.
everyone here is trying so hard to be politically correct with their “if they’re happy about it” bs that they forgot to look at the photo. none of these women looks elated. as for consent, they probably didn’t have much say in the matter, either due to familial/social pressure or out of economic need.
Um…is that why at least three of the women in that picture are smiling? It appears to me, you’re simply projecting your own views on the photo and chosing to believe none of the women look happy.
It sounds like most of them are just marrying him for his money. He’s set them up in very nice homes. The women don’t really have options beyond either trying to get a job that probably pays very little or marrying well. They chose marrying well. None of them seem to love him, beyond what he gives them.
Is it really a choice, if the only other choice is starvation and/or abuse and/or misery?
Absolutely love your blog!! Thanks for making my day!
what a wedding night.
I’m finding this rather sad. Almost all the negitive comments. Fatima’s the only one who didn’t seem negitive. The puritin mind set that America and indeed some of Europe is in, is just…troubling. We look at traditions like this, not understanding the meaning and indeed, the history, nor the people involved and automatically scream WRONG, because we’re taught, one man, one woman. Yet if one were to look at it with a different eye, it seems all these one man, one woman marriages end in bitter divorce, if not worse. Human beings BY nature are NOT monogomous beings. This is why we have boyfriends and girlfriends in our lives before we marry. And for those of you who will no doubt argue that polygomoy is against God’s word, you obviously need to go back and read the old testimate again. Polygomoy is strongly found there. The truth is people, polygomoy has been around since the world began. No it’s not for every one, but there’s no reason to bad mouth people who practice it, or think badly of a man who loves more then one woman at the same time. After all, so many married men in America have mistresses on the side, and you all know it.
I don’t agree with everything you said, but you do have a point. Nobody seems to care if a man cheats and has flings with multiple women, but it’s automatically “bad” if he wants to marry them!
Just an FYI… it’s not like polygamy is legal everywhere except the US and “some of Europe”. It’s illegal in a lot of places, and the US wasn’t the first country to do so. In fact, the Greeks and the Romans were the first to ban the practice, so it’s kind of silly to specifically accuse Americans of being puritanical.
Personally, I don’t care if you want to marry 20 people, and wouldn’t mind if the law was abolished. Just don’t expect tax benefits, etc. because you’ve got multiple wives and a gagillion kids.
Yes, this is definitely tacky. Are the women desperate, getting paid a lot of money or just plain crazy. He looks like a good looking man but gee, not that good looking.
