A Nigerian woman, Aisha Lawal, has shared a bold opinion on marriage and aging. She advised men who want to avoid loneliness in their old age to marry two or more wives. Aisha believes this could help ensure they receive care and attention as they grow older, instead of being neglected.
Her statement has sparked conversations about how people prepare for emotional and physical support in their later years. While this idea may not appeal to everyone, it highlights the importance of planning for companionship and care in old age.
The topic has drawn mixed reactions, with some seeing it as practical advice and others questioning the implications. Regardless of the perspective, Aisha’s message encourages people to think about how relationships can impact life in old age.
“If you love your wife dearly and you don’t want to hurt her feelings, marry only one wife.
“But if you love yourself and you don’t want to be neglected and lonely in your old age, marry two or more wives (if you have the financial and emotional capacity to manage it well),” she wrote in a Facebook post on Friday.
“Till this moment, the advantages of Polygamy supersedes its disadvantages no matter the angle you are coming from. Polygamy remains one of the best gifts of Allah to men!”
