KUCHING: A ceremony of a man marrying two brides simultaneously has netizens going frenzy in social media.
According to the now deleted post by 小安娜 in Facebook, the wedding reception was reportedly held at the Hon Ang Restaurant, a Chinese eatery in Kuching on March 11.
In the post, the user congratulated the man and his brides stating, “Congratulations to the groom and the 2 brides! I wish you 3 to have love forever as you grow old together.”
In the images posted by the user, the groom and his two brides could be seen celebrating their wedding ceremony together. The purported marriage has left Malaysian citizens questioning its legality.
While many congratulated the newly married trio, others have since taken to the post to simply question, can meh?
Aside from this, the post garnered comments from users who questioned the polygamy law governing marriages in Malaysia.
It is not confirmed if the man had actually married the two women at the same time, or if he legally married one woman while the other was an accomplice.
It is also not known if the man is a Muslim.
Some questioned whether it is lawful for an apparent non-Muslim man to marry two women at the same time.
The wedding reception also raised netizens’ suspicions of being fake.
One person said: “Are these people filming a drama? Marrying two wives cannot be possible. It’s not permissible under the law.”
According to the report by SinChew Sarawak, the groom operates a kolo mee stall at the Farley Mall food court.
Meanwhile several other viral posts suggested that one of the brides is a local Chinese while the other is an Indonesian woman.
It was also reported that neither of their parents attended the wedding banquet.
