Nigerian Muslim Woman Prays for Her Husband’s Wedding … to his 2nd Wife

Yesterday, a woman called Fatima Lamido asked her Twitter followers to join her in prayer for her husband’s marriage – with a second wife. According to her Twitter profile, she has a Masters in International Relations, and on the family front, she is also a mother and first wife.

See the tweet below:

Hello twitter my Husband is taking a second wife tomorrow join me and pray for them God bless their Union….

Islamic law allows a man to marry up to four wives, provided he can love them equally. Polygamy is also permitted in most Nigerian customary/traditional marriages.

Since yesterday, she has been retweeting replies from others – some are telling her she deserves better, while some are applauding her for being a peacekeeper.

You deserve better. RT @Hajia_Fatee: My Husband is taking a second wife tomorrow join me and pray for them God bless their Union. — Ashton (@sixo_ashton) October 22, 2015
