In a wedding that has left social media users stunned and debating furiously, a young Ugandan man has officially married identical twin sisters, claiming he simply couldn’t choose between the two.
Photos and videos from the unconventional ceremony show the smiling groom standing proudly between the twins, both dressed in matching bridal gowns, as friends and family gather to celebrate the rare union.
According to local reports, the twins made the mutual decision to marry the same man, explaining that they’ve done everything together since childhood — and they didn’t want marriage to separate them.
“We share everything, and we’ve always dreamed of marrying the same man,” one of the twins reportedly said during the wedding reception. “He treats us equally and understands us both.”
The groom echoed their sentiments, saying he initially dated one of the sisters but later found himself falling for the other. Rather than hide it or break up the family, he proposed a solution that shocked many — marrying them both.
“I love them equally,” the groom said. “Choosing one would have hurt the other. So, I chose both.”
⚖️ Legal and Cultural Debate
While polygamy is recognized under customary law in parts of Uganda, marrying identical twins at the same time is almost unheard of — and has stirred strong opinions online. Some have praised the family’s openness, while others have criticized it as “immoral” or “untraditional.”
Religious leaders and cultural elders have weighed in, with some calling for a review of marriage practices, while others dismissed the incident as a personal choice within the bounds of tradition.
📲 Social Media Reactions
The story has since gone viral across Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok, with users reacting with a mix of awe, confusion, and judgment:
“One man’s nightmare, another man’s dream.”
“Is this love or laziness? He just didn’t want to choose!”
“African tradition never stops surprising me.”
