Marriage is a very important moment in everyone's life. It is a sweet memory that is remembered till death, because from that day a new chapter of life begins. Many traditions related to marriage are performed in different countries. Marriage laws are also different in different countries.
There are many tribes around the world who follow their traditions independently of the government. In some places, women have the right to choose a partner of their choice and change it later, while in some places, there is a right to cut a finger after someone's death. There are many more such traditions, which have been followed for centuries.
In India, if a young man marries twice in Hinduism, he can be jailed. On the other hand, there are countries where two marriages are legally mandatory. Here, if a person does not marry twice, he can be jailed.
Here is a strange tradition of having two weddings
We are talking about the African country Eritrea, where men have to marry twice. If someone does not do this here, he is put in jail. The special thing is that this strange tradition related to marriage is also related to the marriage law. In Eritrea, every man has to marry twice. The special thing is that here no woman can stop her husband from marrying again. If a woman does this, she can be jailed.
sentenced to life imprisonment
Here if a man does not marry twice, he can be sentenced to life imprisonment. If a man does not marry twice, both the man and his wife can be sentenced to life imprisonment.
Why this strange law?
Do you think there can be a law? But yes, there is a special reason behind this law. Eritrea has a very high female population. Here 50.6 percent of the population is female, while 49.4 percent of the population is male.
The population of women in this country is twice that of men. The population of Eritrea was 3.78 million in January 2024. Data shows that, between 2023 and 2024, the population of Eritrea is expected to grow by 67 thousand (+1.8 percent).
This country is suffering from poverty
Eritrea is one of the poorest countries in the world. Persistently weak governance, lack of commitment to structural reforms, poor management of public finances and underdeveloped legal and regulatory frameworks have prevented the country from progressing. Due to weak governance, many people here do not shy away from committing crimes.
