Pass bill to stop polygamy

Letters

THE Government should pass a bill to stop polygamy because many women have lost their lives through this type of marriage.
Nowadays, we are witnessing many women are suspected of practising sorcery. Sorcery is a belief and in order to stay on the safe side, women have to come up with a decision to live with polygamy or to live an ordinary life.
Most targets of sorcery are women because people believe they are the ones practicing it.
In our belief, a woman in polygamous relationship tries to win her husband and goes out looking for evil powers (witchcraft).
When she does, people suspect her of practicing sorcery.
People have to learn to be with only one partner.
This is one way they will enjoy life instead of being accused of practising sorcery.
Start doing away with polygamy.
Children are becoming motherless and the Government needs to find the root cause of it and address it.
