A statement by the King called for all men in the country to marry at least five wives,  assuring the men that government would pay for the marriage ceremonies and buy houses for them.

"Here's" the deal, marry at least five wives and you are assured that the government will pay for the marriage ceremonies and buy a house for you.



The order, according to IHarare, is to ensure all women gets a husband as it is believed that men taking more wives will help women to get husbands. 

The monarch noted that there are more women than men in Swaziland which he noted was a very serious problem for the country known to be full of virgins.

Men ordered to marry more than two wives or risk jail.
