Esma Khan, the sister of Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz, has tied the knot with a Tanzanian man in a secret ceremony. The marriage, which took place in accordance with Muslim tradition, makes Esma the third wife of her husband.
According to her social media posts, Esma was engaged just days before the wedding and has since confirmed the union. In one post, she jokingly referred to herself as a 'mother of two and a husband to three', a nod to her new status as a polygamous wife.
Esma has two children from previous relationships and has been open about her personal life on social media. Her husband, who remains unnamed, is also a Muslim and is allowed to marry up to four wives under Islamic law.
Esma's marriage has sparked interest among fans and followers, who have been reacting to her posts on social media. In one post, she shared a photo of herself being held by her husband, captioning it 'God will give you a good ending, Inshallah, My best friend and my husband.'
