DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (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.

haha wow that is awesome.
reminds me of a character Lord Walder Frey from a fantasy series I'm reading right now, A Song of Ice and Fire.
The man (going on two-and-ninty) has at least that many and more kids and grandkids and great grand kids through his fourteen or fifteen wives (as well as from his many many past and present flings) he's had in his lifetime (though only ever one wife at a time ).
Crazy to hear such a similar story in real life.

I don't think the wives have much of a choice. Marriage doesn't work the same in the UAE as it does here

Although I am surprised/impressed a 60 year old man isn't shooting blanks, I really hope his 'military pension' can support all these kids.
And that all these 'wives' have support, because it doesn't seem like daddy has time to raise any kids, he's too busy making them.
"Won't somebody please think of the children !!!!"
I wish men had simpler goals.
Sure spreading your seed around the globe is instinctive, but I see it as a much larger success to raise one healthy adjusted child, than father a 100.
