Dream - The common reason often heard from husbands who choose to have only one wife is the ability to be fair, including in providing for more than one family. Of course, there are also those who have the reason that their love can only be given to one woman. However, the journey of Japanese men's lives is very different. It even becomes a controversy among their own people. How not, this man has four wives and three children. What is surprising is that this husband of four wives has been unemployed for more than a decade.

With Ryuta's condition of not having a job in the past 10 years, most of the family's needs are fulfilled by his wives. The daily life of the polygamous family is featured in the Japanese news program, AbemaTV Japan, Abema Prime, and has sparked intense debate in Japan. It is known that Japan is one of the countries that officially prohibits the practice of polygamy among its residents.

"I really like women, so without realizing it, I find myself in this situation," said Watanabe to Abema TV quoted from Oddity Central, Tuesday, January 9, 2024. "Dog lovers will sympathize. If you have a puppy, don't you want to have another puppy? I like women and love them all equally," he continued.

His first wife is 27 years old, while his second and third wives are 24 and 22 years old respectively. He has a 2-year-old child and a 1-year-old baby from his first wife, and a 5-month-old baby from his second wife. Ryu did not explain why his fourth wife lives separately. However, his other partners confirm that they have a 'second wife'.

"They work together to cover around 850,000 yen monthly family expenses, while Ryuta takes care of the household chores. This is an unusual arrangement, especially for the generally patriarchal Japanese society, but it works for them. 'I think there's no problem with it (polygamy),' says Ryuta Watanabe, giving the example of Tokugawa Ienari, the eleventh and longest-reigning shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, who had 53 children."
