Many times when we are in a gathering, people start telling things of the past, many times in these stories we hear that earlier people used to do more than one marriage, even though this thing thrills us, but in the world There is also a country where only one marriage of a man is a crime in the eyes of law.
Yes, you read it absolutely right, we are talking about the African country Eritrea, the law regarding marriage in this country is completely different, if a man does not marry two, then he may have to go to jail and many times get married. People are sentenced to life imprisonment for refusing to do so. Not only this, if the first wife of the person objected to his second marriage, then in such a situation both of them may have to go to jail.
According to the government of this country, it is necessary for all men to have two marriages, behind this decision, the government says that Eritrea has been a victim of civil wars many times, due to which the number of men here is becoming less than women. And due to the high number of women in the country, women's safety is a big issue. In such a situation, it is very difficult for the women of the country to live alone or without marriage due to strict rules and regulations, so for their protection, the man has been given strict instructions to marry twice. On the other hand, if you look at the figures, about 150,000 Eritrean soldiers have been killed in the civil wars in Eritrea between 1998 and 2000. At that time the population of this country was four million.
Now if the decree is from the government, then every person is easily ready to do so. However, this decision of the dual mindset of the Eritrean government is being fiercely criticized around the world.
