Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden’s rosy portrayal of being married to jihad was sorely tested as he lived with three wives and 17 children during his last days.
"Believe me, when your children and your wife become part of your struggle, life becomes very enjoyable," TIME quoted bin Laden, as saying before the 9/11 terror attack, when he was able to keep his four wives and several children living comfortably in separate houses across Afghanistan.
While in Afghanistan, the wives were able to steer clear of one another. According to a 2002 interview that "AS," presumed to be al-Sadah, gave to Al Majalla magazine, “the women did not live in one house. Each wife lived in her own house. There were two wives in Kandahar, each with her own house. The third wife had a house in Kabul and the fourth in the Tora Bora mountains.”
Even then, a polygamous family is not without its frictions, the report said, adding that when al-Sadah joined the growing clan in 2000, "bin Laden's other wives were upset and even his mother chastised him," according to Lawrence Wright, journalist and author of The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11
