A Congolese pastor Zagabe Chiluza married four women, all virgins, in a colourful wedding a few months in eastern Congo.

He had married the first wife before marrying the four, claiming that he adopted the idea of polygamy from the Bible, using Jacob, who had four wives, as an example.

The boastful man of God said men from his church marry only virgins, encouraging others to practice polygamy.

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.

According to Afrimax, Some members of Zagabe’s church echoed his sentiments that polygamy is accepted in the Bible.

Multiple Online reports said journalists visited the man of God and his wives at their home a year after the wedding and they were all happy.
