“When I married for the first time, I did not plan to marry more than one woman because I was feeling comfortable and had children,” he said.
“But after a while, problems happened and I decided to marry again when I was 23 years old and I informed my wife of my decision," added the man.

This decision did not resolve his search for a woman that could make him happy.

Vows to never remarry

According to Gulf News, Abdullah stated that as problems began between his two wives, he decided to marry for a third and fourth time and eventually divorced his first two wives.

He also claimed to have treated all his wives fairly and admitted that even though most of his wives were Saudi women, he had married foreign women too.

Abdullah married in foreign lands to protect himself from vices when he stayed overseas during his business trips for three to four months.

“Every man in the world wishes to have one woman and remain with her forever… Stability is not to be found with a young woman, but with an old one,” Abdullah stated.

Despite his track record, Abdullah is now married to only one woman and has no plans of remarrying.

The man is planning on marrying another wife, saying polygamy is a project he undertook in the 80s.

Misheck further said that out of his expansive family, 50 children are still in school, six are in the army, two are police officers, and 11 others are employed in different capacities.

Thirteen of his daughters have been married off, and two of his 16 wives are currently pregnant.

According to Misheck, the project is working since he often gets money from his working children.

Every day, each of his 16 wives prepares a meal for him, and he sits in his centrally located house to eat.
