B E I R U T, Dec. 22 -- Lebanese farmer Ghassan Abdel-Al loves women so much that his three exhausted wives have decided to marry him off to a fourth, a Beirut daily reported today.

Al-Kifah al-Arabi said Abdel-Al, who lives in a remote areain south Lebanon, will take another wife in a few weeks to keep up with his insatiable sexual appetite.

The 47-year-old Muslim farmer has sired a total of 42children, known in their village as The Militia. Islam allows men to take up to four wives.

Abdel-Al got married for the first time in his 20s. A fewyears and a dozen children later, his wife felt he was getting bored with her so she set him up with a second woman.

The second wife then bore Abdel-Al at least a dozen morebabies, and then told him to marry a third woman.

The farmer told the newspaper that he was looking forward to his fourth wife. Allah ordered us to love each other and I love women. I cant live without love, or at least without women, that is the way Allah created me, he said.
