LUANDA (Reuters Life!) - After almost three decades of non-military hostilities that ended in 2002, there weren't many men to go around in Angola at first. So it was common, also for cultural reasons, for men to have several women. Although Angolan injunction condemns polygamy, or multiple marriages, the office is widespread in a motherland with a tidy portion of female-headed households and where old lady are often socialist unequalled to control for their children.
So, Family Minister Genoveva Lino proposed a pink step: you can have multiple wives as desire as you can give up it. "If a mankind wants to have more than one mate then he must at least prove he has the physical, emotional, unconscious and financial capacity to bear his multiple relationships," Lino said on Tuesday. "Otherwise, he will have children with one wife, consign to oblivion about them, and rouse on to a next woman. It's a complete mess.
" In January, a minor Angolan get-together announced it would ask council to vote on the legalisation of polygamy. Several female members of chamber rejected the disquiet as a step backwards for Angolan upper crust and the proposal by the New Democracy associate was scrapped. Six months later, the contest on polygamy still rages on. The electing of South Africa's newly elected President Jacob Zuma, a polygamist who has three wives and 19 children, may have helped.
