Polygamy support club

Oh, that doesn't include the ones he has divorced in the meantime. And the ones who he's had children with and not married. He supports them well with state funds and taxpayer money. I sleep peacefully knowing that I've paid for part of the leather Mercedes seat Mrs Zuma #3 rests her ass on when she goes for her nails.

I am a bit shocked by this. They say South Africa is so developed,but then you have this.No offense.

Jesus Christ Himself supports poligamy!It is in bible:

Nice effort at trolling.

and when Jesus says about ten dinars, he isn't talking about money literally.

He couldn't be agaist polygamy, because it was a
part of the Torah, and was practise on daily base.
He never critisized this form of marriage, and even
if he would want to, he couldn;t because he was
under Mosaic law, which he had to fullfill, and which
was perfect in every detail - in whole Bible there
is nothing against poligamy, and the faithfull god's
men had many wifes. To David God himself wanted
to gave even more wives, if he would not commit
adultery, but previously he had many anyway...

[Petros Houhoulis]

Millionaires and billionaires should be obliged to have at least 100 heirs IMO. Obviously this can only be done with polygamy.

Why should the Saudi royal family have at least 100 heirs? Are they better than you?

...The royal family in Saudi Arabia is already 40.000 strong!!!

Sounds like a nightmare to even fathom having that many spouses.

Such things only work perhaps in rural settings with extended family networks.

But, still...

[catgeorge]

Oh, hell no.

[Sacrificed Ram]

Jesus would be unhappy if he was against poligamy and after use a case of poligamy as example for his disciples.

It's all about social justice, 1 million split between 100 persons will benefit more to the common good than if it is split between 2-3 persons, it's logical.

There are different laws in South Africa. I'm not an expert when it comes to legal affairs but from what I can gather there are different "tiers".

You get a union (provided by the Marriage Act) between a man and a woman. This is the ordinary, every-day marriage.

Then you get a marriage under the Recognition of Customary Law. Polygamous marriages are not allowed under the Marriage Act, BUT Customary Law does recognize polygamy in certain cultures (eg: Zulu and Muslim) which makes it legal.

Thirdly, there is Civil Unions Act which allows marriage between any two people (ie: homosexual marriages).

I've chatted to some work colleagues about this. One woman said that her father has multiple wives (families). He had to prove to the State upon applying for dispensation to marry each spouse that he can support each family with a house, a car/s, an regular income and pay for the education of the children from each of the families. Each wife gets a house. Each wife gets a car. Each wife gets a steady income. The wives may also appeal if they see another wife getting more benefits than the other. It can turn into a very expensive, sticky mess because nothing ever is as simple as it seems. Polygamy is only for the very wealthy. (Jacob used the police budget to pay for 11 luxury cars between his 4 wives this year.)

The average Joe in the street might get a hard-on when he thinks about having more than one wife, but his hard-on will soon go flat when he realises just how much this is going to cost him.
