Dimystifying Krishna’s act of marrying 16108 women #shorts #krishna #epicstories #love#wives

Shri Krishna was a king during the dwapara yuga and he only had 8 wives then, a common practice of polygamy during those days. They were rukmini, Satyabhama, jambavati, Nagnajiti, kalindi, Mitravinda, Bhadra and lakshmana. During that time, Narakasura, a demon, captured 16,100 beautiful unmarried girls in his area and he used them as sex slaves. Shri Krishna fought him and defeated him. Obviously, the women were freed, every one of them. But the society and their own family were never going to accept them because they were already labeled as “Sex slaves”. They were about to suicide because of this reason. So, Sri Krishna married them in order to restore their honor and raise their status in the society to queen. There is nobility in his actions, and that is how he had 16,108 wives.
