So Strange as South African Church Hosts Mass Wedding for 1,500 Couples Including Men With Several Wives.

So Strange as South African Church Hosts Mass Wedding for 1,500 Couples Including Men With Several Wives.

In South Africa, the International Pentecost Holiness Church (IPHC) has made headlines.

This is due to a mass wedding ceremony where 1,500 couples exchanged vows.

The event included polygamous unions, with men marrying more than one woman inside the church.

According to critics, the event reflects the church’s integration of Pentecostal beliefs and African traditions.

While such large-scale weddings are rare globally, especially with polygamous marriages involved, they are a tradition for the IPHC, emphasizing community and cultural unity.

Critics question the practice’s impact on individual marriages, but supporters, particularly in Africa, celebrate its cultural significance.

This historic event showcases the church’s influence, interwoven with culture, and the enduring legacy of love in the heart of the South African nation
