Aisha Kasolo has strongly rejected claims made by Princess Amirah, a musician who asserts that she is the first wife of Finance Minister Haruna Kasolo. The disagreement between the two women, both claiming to be wives of the same man, has escalated, with both parties publicly defending their positions.
In a recent interview, Aisha Kasolo spoke about her marriage to Minister Kasolo, explaining that Islam allows men to marry multiple women legally. “In the Muslim religion, a man can marry multiple women if the marriages are official. The wives even live and relate harmoniously because Islam permits it as long as it is done legally,” Aisha said. She emphasized that she does not recognize Princess Amirah as one of Kasolo’s wives, questioning the legitimacy of Amirah’s marriage to him. “I don’t know Princess Amirah. I know all his wives, and they are registered in the marriage registry. I have never seen her as my co-wife because I doubt they are married,” Aisha added.
In contrast, Princess Amirah has repeatedly asserted that she is Minister Kasolo’s first wife and that she is the one who receives his full attention. “Kasolo visited my parents and even held a wedding. I consider myself his first wife because he gives me everything I need. I don’t care about the co-wives and don’t know anything about them,” Amirah stated. She dismissed Aisha Kasolo entirely, claiming that she had never heard of her and suggesting that Aisha is married to someone else.
The ongoing conflict between Aisha and Amirah has raised questions about the nature of their relationships with Minister Kasolo, especially as both women continue to stake their claims in a very public manner.
