Many people’s reaction to polygamous marriage could be summed up in one word: yuck. They assume the men are perverted or have a huge ego or are overly sexual. Quite to the contrary some relationships do actually work.

That said, in a memo making rounds on social media, posted by activists the Government of Eritrea is alleged to have asked men to marry at least two wives due to acute shortage of men occasioned by casualties during the civil war with Ethiopia.

The memo which is written in Arabic highlights the government’s alleged support of the matter.

According to translation by the activists the memo reads;

“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 .”

The memo also outlines that failure to comply attracts a life imprisonment sentence with hard labour. The memo has since excited Kenyan men with some already offering to change their nationality and moving to Eritrea, well if wishes were horses beggars would ride.

One user on Facebook said; “At this rate, I can see the Eritrea Government spreading new embassy outlets in Kakamega, Embu, Siaya and Busia counties to help hasten visa processing”

The memo is yet to be confirmed as authentic communication from the Eritrean government with certain faults such as failure of translation in official national languages, Tigrinya and Tigre.
