In a unique Easter Sunday celebration, a Pentecostal church in South Africa conducted mass wedding ceremonies for approximately 3,000 individuals, with many participants entering into polygamous marriages.
The event, held on Sunday, saw several men marrying their sixth or even seventh wives, while others participated in unions involving multiple brides. A spokesperson for the church confirmed that polygamy was a common feature of the ceremony, which aimed to bring together families in a collective, celebratory manner.
The large-scale event is part of a growing trend in some communities where polygamous relationships are a cultural norm, and such mass weddings provide a platform for couples to formalize their unions.
