58-year-old Thai man has 120 wives
Wednesday, September 20th, 2017 11:26:22 by fatimaarshadA 58-year-old man from Thailand has shocked many as it was found out that he has 120 wives and 28 children. The case remained out of media’s attention for such a long time as polygamy is prohibited in Thailand.
According to the details provided, Tambon Prasert is the head of Phromnee district in Thailand’s Nakom Nayok province. He was recently forced to admit to this feat as the media had gotten hint of the news and they approached his house for confirmation. Presert admitted to have illegally taking over 100 wives, but he said that all his wives were aware about each other and they were even happy with their arrangement.
Prasert is a local politician and owner of a successful construction business. After the media asked him for confirmation of this news, he called members of some news channels to his house and shed some light on his unusual family life.
When asked if the news was true, Prasert calmly answered that he had 120 wives and 28 children. He said that in order to achieve this number, he started when he was young and got married for the first time when he was just 17-years-old.
“My first marriage was when I was 17,” he recounted. “My first wife was one or two years younger than me and we had three children. After that I had a string of others. Most of them were young women and they were all under 20. I don’t like older ones – they argue too much”.
Prasert elaborated that he had developed an unusual habit, whereby he would take a wife in every place that he built a house. “I am a building contractor, wherever I built a house I got a wife there,” he said. “I love them all – and they all love me.”
The business tycoon further said that he is loving towards all his wives and none of them ever have had a problem with him. Whenever he would take a new wife, he would inform all his previous wives about her and gain their permission.
So far it is unclear whether Prasert will face any legal implications for defying the law.
