"The core of the issue isn't the number of children itself, but the capacity to provide for their basic needs, education, and healthcare. If that can be done with ease then I guess it wouldn’t matter birthing more."

Kenyan pastor says the Bible supports polygamy

YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that Kenyan cleric Pastor Vincent Mboya Mulwa argued that the Bible supports polygamy, contrary to widespread Christian belief.

The pastor, who has preached for over 40 years, emphasised that Christian men should be free to marry as many women as they desire, as it's not about men's desire but women's need for husbands.

Pastor Mulwa's view contradicts the traditional Christian teaching that men should marry only one wife, with divorce allowed only for sexual immorality.

He called for Christians to be taught the "true gospel," claiming that they have been misled about marriage and polygamy.
