Sorry Guys, Only Muslims Are Allowed To Have 2 Wives In Eritrea by ckmayoca: 11:49am On Jan 30, 2016
As it stands present, it's only Muslims in Eritrea that are getting married to more than one wife as religion permits, hence it is not yet a national policy by their government for both Christians and Muslim to take more wives.




Reports that trended online on Monday and Tuesday that the Eritrean government issued a decree requiring all men to marry two women and above, or face imprisonment, are not totally correct.

So ladies, don't panic. Your man will not be jetting off to Eritrea anytime soon.

According to Sahara Reporters, it had conversations with experts and Eritrean government reps on Wednesday, the report is now understood to be a rumor originating on social media that later became extremely popular. The rumor later found its way to news websites in Nigeria and across Africa.

Eritrean government representative attached to the Eritrean Mission at the United Nations in New York flatly denied the rumor, and expressed frustration that the hoax had gained the traction it had.

Also speaking, Eritrean expert Awet Weldemichael, an Assistant Professor at Queen's University in Canada, stated that he believed the reports were fictitious and “started as a joke” online.

Weldemichael said, "I have not seen, read, or heard anything credible which would confirm the story."
He continued, “if you read [the reports] closely they have no basis in Eritrean tradition, which is almost half-Muslim and half-Christian.”

However, the Eritrean government has not officially denied the report.

The sweetness of madness is best known to a mad man.
It's very demanding to EFFECTIVELY manage a nuclear home. Thus a man who wholeheartedly goes for two or more has his reasons.
