A man from Malaysia has gone viral on TikTok after a video showed him marrying two brides during the same wedding ceremony in Sabah.
Joint entrance and shared dais
The clip captured the newlyweds entering the venue together and taking their places on the dais side by side.
Dressed in matching purple outfits, the groom walked down the aisle with a bride on each arm. The three posed for photographs as guests came forward to offer congratulations.
The post has since attracted more than 1 million views and around 35,000 likes.
Mixed reactions from netizens
Online responses have been divided. Some viewers sent well wishes to the couple, while others expressed surprise at the unusual setup.
When one commenter asked if the brides were sisters, the original poster, believed to be a guest, replied that the two women are not related.
Questions continued to pour in. Several netizens wondered how the groom would manage daily life with two wives, with one asking whether all three would share the same bed.
Another user questioned if the groom had been dating both women before the marriage. A light-hearted comment read: “Actually, polygamy isn’t a problem at all – as long as it doesn’t involve my husband.”
Details from unverified comments
One netizen offered an explanation that has not been independently confirmed: the bride in the white hijab is the first wife, while the one in the black hijab is the second wife.
The commenter noted that the second wife wore matching silver accessories similar to those of the groom.
Legal context in Malaysia
Under Shariah law in Malaysia, polygyny is permitted for Muslim men, allowing up to four wives.
A man must first obtain approval from the state Syariah Court before taking an additional wife. The court evaluates whether he can treat all wives equitably and provide adequate financial support.
