Though still at the draft stage, debate is certainly bound to arise from the bill which if enacted and signed into law, will among other things, legalize polygamy and water down the importance of dowry.

  • I AM SO SHOCKED THAT IN THE 21ST CENTURY KENYAN WOMEN (while seeking equality) WOULD ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE HUDDLED IN ONE UNION AS WIVES OF ONE MAN.

    And even more surprising is that Kenya's well educated women are increasingly accepting to be married as a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th wife.

    I need help to understand what has gone wrong - this is counter-intuitive.

  • why should it water down dowry? why do lesss than 5 people, mos of whom are nt married, want to institutionalize their own definition of a marriage on everyone else?
