Marry more women so prostitution and adultery among women will reduce - Tanzanian President

The president of Tanzania has appealed to the men in his country to encourage polygamy so as to reduce the rate of prostitution among the Tanzanian women.

Speaking in Dar-es-Salaam, the country's capital this morning, President Magufuli said the number of women in the country is far more than the men, which has forced a lot of unmarried women to commit adultery with other people's husbands. The President said according to a statistics survey carried out recently in the country, out of approximately 70 million Tanzanians, 40 million are women and only 30 million are men.

"I am not forcing you, neither is it a rule in our constitution, I'm just encouraging you to marry two or more wives so that the number of single women will reduce", Magfuli said this in a conference of about 14,000 men who were receiving training in various life skills in the commercial capital.

"Our women are complaining and crying every day due to the lack of men to marry and support them financially, emotionally and economically, hence has increased the number of women who engage in prostitution.

You men should try to work hard and be financially balanced so that you can marry two or more of our women so that prostitution can reduce provided you are able to provide for their basic needs". And as government, we shall give small incentives and financial backing to such men provided you don't engage them in physical combat and domestic violence ", Magfuli said.

In recent years, Tanzania has recorded the highest number of women and young girls in prostitution in East Africa.
