Delta man marries two wives
A man from Delta State has caused a stir after marrying two women on the same day in a colourful ceremony that attracted wide attention across social media. The event, which took place in a local community over the weekend, drew hundreds of guests who gathered to witness what many described as a rare but bold decision.
According to eyewitnesses, the groom, identified as Mr. Kingsley, tied the knot with his two brides in separate traditional rites held in the same compound. Both women were reportedly aware of each other and willingly agreed to share the union, with the ceremony symbolising unity and mutual respect.
Videos and photos from the occasion showed the groom and his brides dressed in matching traditional outfits, smiling and dancing together while family members and friends cheered them on. Guests described the atmosphere as lively, with traditional music, food, and cultural displays adding to the festive mood.
Reactions online have been divided, with some praising the groom for his openness and others criticising the practice as outdated. While polygamy remains legal under certain traditional and religious systems in Nigeria, it continues to stir debates about gender equality and marital expectations.
