A new trend

Since one man was bold enough to marry two women at the same time, there has been a rise in what is now being referred to as group marriage.

There is yet to be a legal name for a relationship between more than three people who consider themselves partners.

As with their faces, their reasons for group marriages have differed, ranging from sex to child rearing.

As strange as the arrangement might seem to the Europeans, it is even stranger to Nigerians but we seem to be taking it in stride.

In 2017, there were at least five reports of group marriages taking place all over Nigeria and Africa, and the equation so far has been, one man to two or more women.

Polygamous marriages couldn't get any better with these inprovements.
