Somali man marries two women the same day.

If you think it's only Nigerian men that marries two women the same day then think again.

A young Somali man has married two women on the same night and said that he will encourage other men to do it.

According to BBC, Bashir Mohamed said he courted both women for about eight months, and convinced them to marry him. "I used to bring them together to socialise with me at my home," he told BBC Somali. "I used to say openly to both of them that I love them. They were satisfied," he added.

The advantage of marrying both at the same time was that they would not get "jealous" later, and would know from the beginning that they were in a polygamous marriage, Mr Mohamed said.

He had taken two wives because he wanted "many children". Know if news is factual and true. "I will encourage other men to do it, if they can afford it," Mr Mohamed said.

Polygamy is allowed in Somali culture, but it is unusual to marry two women at the same time.
