The invitation card is on circulation in both the social and conventional media. The card bears the name of a man known as Menikah Cindra and two brides, each of whom he is scheduled to marry separately, on November 5th and 8th, and then host one big wedding celebration on the 9th.

According to odditycentral.com, the unique wedding invitation has been doing the rounds on Indonesian social media for the past week, with the vast majority of users condemning the event for being degrading to the two women.

What is even amazing is the fact that even well-known polygamists are speaking against the intended marriage.

Some hold the view that though polygamy is permitted in Islam, Muslim men must learn to live with one woman before taking second wives.

However, on the flipside, some are joking about how the wedding night would play out.

Reports suggest that an Indonesian news website, Detik recently confirmed the reality of the forthcoming wedding after talking to the head of Teluk Kijing Village, in South Sumatra, where the event is scheduled to take place.

According to the Teluk Kijing Village official who spoke to Detik, Cindra and one of his brides-to-be, Indah, are from the same village, while the other one was from a neighboring community.

Interestingly, the man has got the consent of the two brides-to-be and their families to carry on with the arrangement.

Meanwhile the village chief has no objection to the marriage. He said “In this village, there have been three times when a man was married to two women and held a reception together. The reason is that they love each other and it has been agreed upon from the beginning, before the wedding.”
