President Uhuru Kenyatta Signs Kenya Polygamy Law by olas24u(f): 10:52am On Jul 07, 2015
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta has signed into law a controversial marriage bill legalising polygamy.
It brings civil law, where a man was only allowed one wife, into line with customary law, where some cultures allow multiple partners.
Controversy surrounded an amendment to the bill, supported by many male MPs, allowing men to take more wives without consulting existing spouses.
Traditionally, first wives are supposed to give prior approval.

Weird that some African legislative bodies are so quick and easy to pass legislations that are self serving and totally banal but they trudge heavily where bills that will be of the greatest and ultimate benefits to the citizens are on the table.

Just like Americans and other western countries are quick to pass self serving legislations like the one on gay marriage
