President States Condition Before Men Can Marry More Wives

It is interesting but a president has stated a condition before men can marry more wives in the country.

Samia Suluhu, the female president of Tanzania says men must be ready to increase the size of their cultivable lands before they should think of bringing in more wives.

She spoke against the backdrop of lingering case of food insecurity in the country on the back of erratic rainfall 2021 which accounted for poor harvests and huge loss of livestock.

Speaking yesterday in the Mwanza area where she launched the Sukuma Cultural Festival in Bulabo, she said there was need for mitigation measures to the food crisis afflicting the country.

“I know that among my brothers from Sukuma if the harvest is bountiful and you sell at good prices, men will rush to open new households; second and third homes.

“Now, it is not bad and we are not jealous. we will not prevent you from doing it but as you plan to increase your households, remember to also increase the size of your land so that more farming can be done in Tanzania; and more produce can be harvested so that families can have more than adequate food,” said President Suluhu.
