[/b]A new law that went into effect in Kenya this week makes it legal for a man to marry as many women as he wants. And a leading women’s group is applauding it.[b]

President Uhuru Kenyatta signed the polygamy measure into law Tuesday, formally recognizing what has long been a cultural practice in the nation.

Parliament passed the bill in March despite protests from female lawmakers who angrily stormed out of the late-night session at the time.

The bill initially allowed the first wife the right to veto the husband’s choice of additional spouses. Male members of parliament successfully pushed to get that clause dropped.

“Marriage is the voluntary union of a man and a woman whether in a monogamous or polygamous union,” Kenyatta said in a statement. “The Marriage Act 2014 defines various types of marriages including monogamous, polygamous, customary, Christian, Islamic and Hindu marriages.”

No limit on number of wives

The law legalizes polygamous unions, but does not provide an official limit on the number of wives a man can have.

The Federation of Women Lawyers, a powerful women’s rights group, applauded aspects of the bill and criticized others.

Polygamy already is a common fixture among many cultures in Kenya and in some other African countries.

The bill, the group said, is long overdue because polygamous unions were previously not regarded as equal to regular marriages.

“We are happy with the law because finally all marriages are being treated equally,” said Christine Ochieng, executive director of the nation’s Federation of Women Lawyers.

“All marriages will be issued with marriage certificates, including customary marriages. Before this, customary marriages were treated as inferior with no marriage certificates. This opened up suffering for the women because they could not legally prove they were married to a particular man. ”

First wife has no say

However, she said, the first wife should have a say in picking her husband’s co-wives.

“What we are not happy about is that now a man can marry another wife or wives without the consent of the first wife,” she said. “That section of the law is potentially open to abuse because a man can secretly marry other wives because he doesn’t need his wife’s consent to marry.”

But Jane Kimani, a Nairobi resident, said the bill is archaic and has no place in modern society.

“Polygamous marriages should not even be an issue today,” she said. “Kenya is moving backward instead of changing with the times.”

1. so out of a population of about 180 million, igalo who plays in China emerged as our only best striker ....... what do you expect from such a person? as he can only perfom a bit if we're lucky to be matched against China national team.

2. this match made us discover that even with the VAR, you can still be cheated and robbed by the referee for one reason or the other .

3. Any unfit, finished, below average players should not be allowed in the team, as the will weaken the 11 players on the pitch, and also weaken the bench. players like onazi, Joel obi, igalo, and other useless players.

4. any player that moves to China, Vietnam, Thailand, and other stupid lower league for money should never again be allowed in the team.

Just because ur mum is sick will that stop you from going to work

Please, if u have regards for elders (or your parent) you won't drag someone else parent into an argument or discussion just to cite an example or to score a cheap point. If I were like u, I would have just simply insulted your parent too by using either your father or your mother to cite an instance.

Note this in case of next time.

I think PMB just did the same thing GEJ was criticised for. Despite bokoHaram killings, he went ahead to attend rally. Now, despite the ongoing killings in benue state, he went ahead to attend rally. Let's just say he is more concerned with is personal interest than any other problems in the country. My views though.
