I mean if our brothers and sisters who are Muslims are doing it perfectly, why not Christians? Provided you can take care of your family and your two or three wives that\u2019s fine and I mean, I speak to a lot of Muslim friends of mine and they\u2019re okay with it, personally I don\u2019t believe in it but I feel it\u2019s good for Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>To lay emphasis on his point, John Dumelo took to his Instagram page to state that most married men have side chicks and since they perform wife duties, it will be more prudent to upgrade their status to that of \u201cwives\u201d. He also added that women must equally be allowed to marry more than one husband to create a balance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d My Muslim brothers have multiple wives and I see no reason why Christians shouldn\u2019t. As\u00a0 long as they can provide for all their wives, there is no problem. He stated.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 1.8.8 --><\/p>\n<p>There are about three different laws governing marriage in Ghana. This includes;\u00a0 the Customary Marriage and Divorce Registration Law, 1985 (PNDCL 112) amended by PNDCL 263; the Marriage Ordinance, 1884 (Cap 127); and the Marriage of Mohammedan\u2019s Ordinance, 1884 (Cap 129).<\/p>\n<p>Under the PNDCL 112 law,\u00a0 man, in principle, can have as many wives as he can reasonably take care of them that will willingly marry him. But under the Marriage Ordinance, whether in church or in court, it\u2019s strictly a man to a wife.<\/p>\n<p>John Dumelo\u2019s statements makes us wonder if he is indirectly telling us he will add another woman to his current wife.<\/p>\n<p>Well time will tell.
