A Sucker for Punishment?

The authorities in central Niger state charged Mohammed Bello with "insulting religious" creed and "unlawful marriages" after local chiefs and Muslim leaders gave him a September 7, 2008 deadline to comply with Sharia, Islamic law, which allows a man to have no more than four wives.

The 84-year-old Islamic preacher with 86 wives was jailed after he failed to comply to divorce all but four of the women.

I have one wife, whom I’m madly in love with, but she sure is a handful. Having ‘challenging’ wives seems to be a pretty common thing among men these days, so what in the name of God would persuade a man to have 86 of them?!?

In addition, he’s got 170 kids- tough break for Christmas!
