The fight to legalize polygamy is gradually being won, according to human rights activist Kola Edokpayi. He expressed his commendation for a friend who married a second wife with the approval of his first wife on May 8th.

Edokpayi shared his praise for his friend’s marriage, highlighting how the man’s first wife consented to his marriage to another woman. He indicated that this signifies progress in advocating for the legalization of polygamy.

In a statement, Edokpayi emphasized the need to embrace polygamy, calling out the influence of Western cultures that stigmatize it while promoting practices like divorce, lesbianism, and homosexuality. He appealed to African churches to be open to approving weddings for men seeking to marry multiple wives.

The activist concluded by congratulating his friend, applauding him for demonstrating what it means to be a “real man.”
