Saudi man marries 4 women on same day triggering debate on social media

Marriage is not always an act of appreciation. A Saudi man is realizing it as his wedding news of four women at once has triggered a debate on social media.

He is being bitterly criticised by many, particularly women rights groups.

Saudi media reported the man tied the knot with four Moroccan women on the same day.

As the news went viral on social media like Facebook and Twitter, the man came under fire from many quarters.

Although the news is yet to be verified, most people on Twitter expressed their anger, saying the act is derogatory towards women and unacceptable.

In Islam, taking more than one wife is permissible only under a set of conditions.
