A Ugandan businessman, Ssaalongo Nsikonenne Habib Ssezzigu, recently made headlines after marrying seven wives in one ceremony. The grand wedding took place in Bugereka village, located in the Mukono district, on Sunday, September 10, 2023.

The festivities began early in the morning, when the brides were taken to a local salon for styling. They were then transported in Super Custom vans, each bearing the name of the bride.

After the exchange of marital vows, Nsikonnene and his 7 wives embarked on a grand procession led by boda boda cyclists. They passed through the towns of Kalagi, Kasana, and Nakifuma, before arriving at their new home at 6 pm in the evening.

The wedding festivities kicked off with a concert, and enthusiastic onlookers lined the roadsides to witness the event. Some were in disbelief, while others remarked that it was their first time witnessing such a wedding.

The 7 wives, namely Mariam, Madinah, Aisha, Zainabu, Fatuma, Rashida, and Musanyusa (Habib’s first wife of 7 years), were all honored with new cars as gifts from the groom.

At the reception, each bride had a designated seat bearing her name. During his reception speech, Nsikonnene commended his wives for their loyalty and devotion.

“My wives harbor no jealousy amongst themselves,” he declared with pride. “I introduced them separately and decided to wed them all at once to make one big happy family.”

He added that he might marry more wives in the future.

“I am still a young man and in the near future, God willing, I cannot say this is the end of it,” he added.

The groom’s father, Hajj Abdul Ssemakula, remarked that polygamy has been a long-standing tradition within their family.

“My own late father had 5 wives and I myself have 4 wives who live in one house,” he said.

It is said that Habib broke the record of marrying 7 wives at once in Uganda.

The wedding has sparked a debate on social media, with some people expressing their support for polygamy and others criticizing it.

Some people believe that polygamy is a form of oppression against women, while others argue that it is a legitimate way of life.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to practice polygamy is a personal one. There is no right or wrong answer, and each person must decide what is best for them.
