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.

Raph's Girl note: Good lord...and he only has one leg?! :o Funny that his name is Daad... :lol:

[Mecha Cow]

Wow, what the hell? :lol:

How is his having but one leg relevant though?

[Masked Ninja]

Something about this bothers me. Probably the part about him thinking of his number-of-children as some kind of score.

And yet, at the same time, I am very amused. Go him and his one leg.

Confusion... :tsick:

And this is why the world is over populated.

"On the next episode of "How Many Children Can I Have?" Mr. Douglas will shoot for a whopping 68 kids as his competitor, Mr. Jones is catching up with 67! This is going to be a neck in neck battle."

[Deathknight]

That is so messed up, 78 kids? Why would you even want to have 100 kids or better yet how would you support them all?

EK, the human race is utterly doomed. We'll eventually kill ourselves with stupidity one way or another, if it's by nuclear bomb, bad eating habits, or eventually inbreeding and the complete deteriorating of the human body.

This rubs me the wrong way. I can't imagine any of those kids getting adequate love and support. And as Masked Ninja says, he's treating them like a score and not kids. I wonder if he even knows all their names!

I’m all for freedom to do whatever you want, but this is breaching the territory of it starting to hurt others as the government needs to supplement his income in order for the kids to survive. Like I said, I’m all for the freedom to pursue happiness, but there reaches a point where you need to start chopping off gonads. This point was about 50 kids ago.

I guess what really bothers me is...who in their right mind would marry this @#$%&! bag? Especially when they know they're just going to get rotated out in divorce.

He has a sexy leg? I dunno. I don't know the situation or the people personally, so I'm not going to start ranting. Really though, when your name is Daad, only one thing you can be...maybe he just likes the sound of his own name that much.

*snort* :lol:

One leg?!? But how does he....well, I suppose you could wrap one leg around and curl up.....never mind.

[Barkworm]

Two words: F*cking. Gross.

... *goes to say something, but stops at the last second* ... *shakes head in sheer disgust*

Note where the guy lives. UAE. Happy Muslim land full of petroleum.

Then consider applying your Western standards to this case.

And this is why the world is over populated.


... wait, what? This ain't the most populated area in the world.

[Spike Spiegel]

This man must have a lot of...well, he must be very...

Never mind.

I can't believe that ONE man can father 78 children. That is screwed up on so many levels. But I guess that's okay in the culture that he is a part of.

I'm sure it's pretty f*cking weird there, too.

Are you done? How is this relevant to anything? If nothing else fathering 78 children is a pretty impressive showcase of what the human body is capable of.

Yeah seriously. Spelling doom out for something like this is ridiculous.

How is the relevant? Easy. Here you have a dumb ass that thinks it's cool to breed 100 kids in his area. He has given no thought that he is literally creating a one DNA gene pool in his area. So excuse me for finding this very disturbing. Like it or not, mass multiplying of one DNA gene pool like this is a recipe for disaster, either be it birth defects, diseases, or something worse.

Just like Ian Malcolm mentions in Jurassic Park, people are so preoccupied about weather if the could do something, anything, they never stop to think if they should. Like who can build the biggest bomb, playing God with cloning and DNA manipulation, or seeing how many children one could pass onto in one generation.

ALRIGHT! PARTY!

So I guess this means that Vince McMahon isn't the genetic jackhammer he professed himself to be after all.
