After 102 kids, 568 Grandchildren,Man Warn Wives 'No More Babies'

 

A Ugandan farmer, Musa Hasahya, who is the father of 102 children and 568 grandchildren, has instructed his 12 wives to go on birth control pills.

Hasahya said he made the decision to stop growing his family.

He said they can barely afford to feed due to the rising cost of living as well as his dwindling income.

 

 

 

The 67-year-old who lives with his family in Lusaka, Uganda, where polygamy is legal explained: “My income has become lower and lower over the years due to the rising cost of living and my family has become bigger and bigger.

“I cannot tolerate bearing children anymore because of the limited resources.

“And on that note, I have advised all my wives of childbearing age to go for family planning.”

He added: “I married one woman after another. How can a man be satisfied with one woman?

“All my wives live together in the same house.

“It’s easy for me to monitor them and also stop them eloping with other men in this village.”
