Why can Mr. Ho marry four wives?

Why can a great man like Stanley Ho continue to marry more than one wife after 1949? At that time, Hong Kong was a British colony, but polygamy had long been abolished in Britain, and multiple wives were not allowed at the same time. When Stanley Ho married his second wife on 1957, he did not divorce his first wife. Some people questioned whether Stanley Ho committed bigamy, but he didn't, because polygamy was legal according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty.

Macao only abolished polygamy in the Qing Dynasty in the 1970s. Mr. Stanley Ho's first two wives were married before the abolition of the system. These two wives are legal, and the last two wives are Mr. Ho's nominal wives. According to the tradition of rich people in Hong Kong and Macao, the two wives that Mr. He later married were just drinks, and there is no evidence. Therefore, Mr. He's four wives are all legal.

abstract

It is not illegal for Stanley Ho to marry more than one wife, and Stanley Ho is not the only wife in the local area. Most local tyrants practice polygamy, which is a problem left over from history. In Chinese mainland, this is illegal cohabitation, but it is different in Macau, because the two are out of sync in many systems. At that time, Mr. Ho's social status also determined the reason why he could have multiple wives. Who wants to marry someone else as a concubine without money and power?
