Two men jailed for not marrying – strange law in African country

Number of men reduced by war

In the small country of Eritrea on the Red Sea in Africa, the number of men has decreased and the number of women has increased due to frequent civil wars.

As a result, a situation has arisen where many women are pushing their period without getting married, so a new strange law has been introduced in Eritrea to prevent this.

Compulsory two marriages

Accordingly, all men must have 2 marriages. Failure to do so will result in imprisonment.

It is also said that even if there are more than 2 marriages, it will not be considered a crime. The law also states that the husband’s first wife should not oppose this marriage and if she does, she will be punished.
