A Congolese pastor has been making round the Internet after he got married to four virgins, in a colorful wedding in eastern Congo.
Pastor Zagabe Chiluza, married to his first wife before marrying the four, said he adopted the idea of polygamy from the Bible, using Jacob, who had four wives, as an example.
The clergy who encouraged others to practice polygamy, said men from his church, get married to virgins only.
According to AfriMax English, the man always shares scriptures from the Holy Book to prove polygamy isn’t a sin. “I have one wife already and today I’m going to marry these four. They will join the first wife,” he said on his wedding day.
He claimed the idea of marrying more wives originated from the Bible.
“Jacob had many wives Leah and Rachel, then Bilha and Zilpa…four wives for one man,” he said. Zagabe said he got saved in 1986, and during the wedding, while addressing the guests, he said; “I’m glad to have five wives.”
Online Sources said Zagabe Chiluza’s four wives were all virgins when he married them at his church in eastern Congo recently.
