The issue of maPostori and Zimbabwe marriage laws

[Bla Jedza]

Is there a loophole in the Republic of Zimbabwe marriage laws that allows Mapostori to have multiple wives, and the other thing of Mapostori prophets claiming at a kraal how a female congregant should become their wife because the
Holy Spirit told them so in their dreams.

The current marriage laws in Zimbabwe do not acknowledge polygamy if we are talking specifically about civil law. So a man, whether they are a Muslim or a Christian can only marry one woman, but if we are talking about Zimbabwe customary marriages then it's okay to have multiple wives.

Kana Mupostori akaita vakadzi 5 then under civil law, vakadzi ivavo zvakangofanana nekuti (vamwe vacho 4 excluding the first wife akatanga kuroorwa) ma small houses while murume (baba vemba) ndi blesser or sponsor kwavari.

Sometimes marriage yeMapostori inenge by ginya.

Mupostori anongoti hake, "Ndarota uri mukadzi wangu. Saka wadii waita mukadzi wangu."

Sure, I'd suggest Mapostori in Zimbabwe should be kept under a watchful eye to prevent illegal underage marriages all in the name of following religious customs.

They would never let that happen to their offspring though.

You can say that again because it's purely double standards.

The main issue is how Mapostori sometimes mix Christian religious beliefs in the Old Testament saying people in the Holy bible had multiple wives, so it's okay for the average man who is part of the Kraal to follow suit.

Coupled with Zimbabwe's traditional customs being brought into the mix too. The end result will be having too many children yet not being financially stable enough to look after them in the long run.

I don't see the problem with polygamy if all parties are willing participants.

Unfortunately, that is not the case with Mapostori since they sort of command whoever is part of their kraal to become one of their wives and join the barika.

I think the age of consent in Zimbabwe should be changed to 21.

What will you say about the Federal Republic of Nigeria then?

I know Naija's age of consent is 11 years old, and that to me is similar to pedophilia. I can't believe grown-ass people would pass such a law. I still think the age of consent in every country should be 21 though!

Do Zimbabwe marriage laws accept marriage between cousins like in India?

 

[Queen]

Do Zimbabwe marriage laws accept marriage between cousins like in India?

No in Zimbabwe that's taboo. However, you are right about India because, In India, you can marry your first and second cousins and in America, you can marry the third cousin if it’s mutual.

Yep.
