Which to choose......
from yahoo7 news:
An 84-year-old Nigerian man with 86 wives and 170 children has accepted a decree issued by Islamic authorities that he must divorce 82 of them.
The BBC, quoting a local emir, reported that Mohammadu Bello Abubakar agreed to the mass divorce at the weekend.
Abubakar, a former teacher and preacher, faced the death penalty under Sharia law, which was reintroduced to the Muslim-majority Niger state in northwest Nigeria in 2000.
While the death sentence was lifted, Abubakar still faced eviction from his home.
Nigerian media and the BBC interviewed Abubakar several weeks previously, when he claimed there was no punishment in the Koran for having more than four wives.
However, the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs said that Sharia law clearly limited a man to four wives.
was not enforced before there or I don't know how did he married them, maybe locally or between him and the families. So when they enforced it they asked him to have only 4, don't know what was this guy plan to marry 86 women :S

Law must give him to make century

and should be left alone! lol
Perhaps he married them before the law came into force;
"Sharia law, which was reintroduced to the Muslim-majority Niger state in northwest Nigeria in 2000."
why the imam let him marry too many wifes at the beginning??

"Abubakar claimed there was no punishment in the Koran for having more than four wives."
"The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs says that Sharia law clearly limited a man to four wives."
Why does Sharia interfere with Qur'an??
