UAE father of 78 eyes new brides for century target

DUBAI (Reuters) - A one-legged Emirati father of 78 is lining up his 
next two wives in a bid to reach his target of 100 children by 2015, 
Emirates Today reported on Monday.

Daad Mohammed Murad Abdul Rahman, 60, has already had 15 brides 
although he has to divorce them as he goes along to remain within the 
legal limit of four wives at a time.

"In 2015 I will be 68 years old and will have 100 children," the 
local tabloid quoted Abdul Rahman as saying.

"After that I will stop marrying. I have to have at least three more 
marriages to hit the century."

The United Arab Emirates newspaper splashed its front page with a 
picture of Abdul Rahman surrounded by his children, the eldest of 
whom is 36 years old and the youngest of whom is 20 days old. Two of 
his current three wives are also pregnant.

Abdul Rahman said his large family lived in 15 houses. He supports 
them with his military pension and the help of the government of 
Ajman, one of seven emirates that comprise the UAE, which includes 
the Gulf trade and tourism hub of Dubai.

Islam allows men to marry up to four women at a time, though most 
marry only one. The UAE is a Muslim country but is home to migrants 
from around the world.
