“We call him Chanji because he
regularly ‘changes’ wives. In my knowledge, he married at least 12
times, but other people say it could be up to 20 times.

“What we know is that he always keeps four wives in his house. Once he divorces
one, or one of them dies, he immediately picks a replacement,” said a
source who preferred not to be named.
