Eritrean men are being threatened with jail unless they
marry more than one wife, reports say.
A statement allegedly issued by the government of Eritrea
is reportedly ordering men to marry at least two wives due
to acute shortage of men caused by enormous casualties
suffered during the civil war with Ethiopia. In the
statement written in Arabic the government gave the
assurance that it will give financial support to the
polygamous marriages.
A translation of the statement states:
“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,” alleges 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 4million people in total.

endtime.

Meanwhile there's shortage of women in China and in India. Even the Chinese government wanted to introduce a "wife sharing" policy. Also in India, it is reported that blood brothers sometimes marry the same wife, due to shortage of women.

Many of you might take this as a joke but the truth is, Eritrea has got themselves natural resources. Train these women to be professionals and send them to country with low number of women.

These women will fill secretarial positions, marry wealthy men and bring their husbands for tourism. Thereby increasing the igr of the country.

No more strategists in the world.

Bro, I think only those Christians who want to be officials in the church are required by the Bible to have one wife. That is what Apostle Paul wrote in one of his Epistles. There is no other explicit reference in the Bible requiring Christians to have just one wife.
