“Here’s the deal: if you marry at least five women, the government will pay for their weddings and buy them houses.”Any man or woman who rejects the decision “shall receive a life sentence,” according to King Mswati.

The order is to ensure every woman gets a husband as it is believed that men taking more wives will help women get husbands.
