In the video, which has been widely shared online, the man explained that his wife often wished she could spend more time with her close friend.
Rather than allowing the friendship to remain separate from their marriage, he claimed he decided to address the situation by marrying the friend.
Husband Explains His Decision
During the recording, both women were seen sitting together while the man spoke to his first wife.
Pointing to the woman beside her, he said: “This is my wife.”
He then asked his first wife: “What did you wish for?”
The woman responded: “I wanted to spend more time with my friend.”
The man followed with another question: “Did I solve your problem?”
She replied: “Yes you did.”
He then turned the camera towards the other woman and introduced her, saying: “Meet my second wife, Sakinat.”
The moment has since attracted thousands of comments, with many viewers expressing shock, humour, and criticism over the unusual decision.
