Answer

Lord Krishna is described as having many wives, though the number varies in different texts. The Bhagavata Purana mentions 16,108 wives.

Krishna had 8 principal queens (Ashtabharya) including Rukmini and Satyabhama. He married 16,100 women who were captives of the demon Narakasura to restore their honor and dignity in society, giving them protection and social standing.
