Mohammed Bello Abubakar has 86 wives, but unless he divorces 82 of them by August 24th, he will be sentenced to death.

According to Sharia law, a man is only allowed to take four wives. With 86, Masaba is going over just a tad.

"Any Muslim who married more than the approved number of wives at a time either by mistake or out of ignorance is instructed to choose but only four and ask for Allah's forgiveness," the Islamic orgainzation Jamatu Nasril Islam said in a statement.

Death sentence aside, how is he able to handle 86 wives in addition to having at least 170 children?

"A man with 10 wives would collapse and die, but my own power is given by Allah. That is why I have been able to control 86 of them," the 84-year-old Abubakar told the BBC.

Seeing the lighter side of things also help, I'm sure.
