The Eritrean government has denied the viral report that it mandated its men to marry at least two wives or risk going to jail, calling it a ‘hoax’.
The story was first reported by an unnamed “Eritrean activist” who posted a scanned memo on Facebook purportedly from the Eritrean parliament ordering its male nationals to marry at least two wives or spend the rest of their lives in jail because there was a shortage of men.
The report didn’t gain much prominence until a Kenyan newspaper relayed it, driving social media nuts, with the country trending in Kenya, Zimbabwe, and far as Nigeria and Ghana.
