Kenya legalises polygamy without wife's consent
Source: Agence France Presse
Kenya's parliament has passed a bill allowing men to marry as many women as they want, prompting a furious backlash from female lawmakers who stormed out, reports said Friday.
The bill, which amended existing marriage legislation, was passed late on Thursday to formalise customary law about marrying more than one person.
The proposed bill had initially given a wife the right to veto the husband's choice, but male members of parliament overcame party divisions to push through a text that dropped this clause.
"When you marry an African woman, she must know the second one is on the way, and a third wife... this is Africa," MP Junet Mohammed told the house, according to Nairobi's Capital FM.

12. I find it presumptuous
of Kenyan legislators to speak for all of Africa. They may be a leading nation, but laws like this will see to it that they become a laughing stock. Africa is progressing in spite of these lawmakers' efforts.
Did the natives stop pooping upstream of their water supply?

22. It's more patriarchal frenzy. Call it religion, culture, whatever, but it's not TIA. **** Kenya.
Rights aren't "given." That's why they're "rights." Women in Africa will decide their own rights.
They can institutionalize domination by any other name and it's still men not wanting to limit their promiscuity and vicious disloyalty, only women's. After all, someone's got to be the responsible adult and raise the offspring! And someone's got to go out and procure the wealth!
And yet you DUmmies think that our Bill of Rights, specifically the 2nd Amendment, is bestowed on us by the power of the government.

I am not sure what they are upset about....after all they tell us we are terrible for not wanting the institution of marriage polluted by two pole smokers marrying each other.

Taking a second wife is not a problem for the jug-eared Kenyan.
A man needs only one beard.
Much more serious from his perspective is that Kenya jails homos.

If Obama takes a second wife, I hope her and the accompanying mother in law is 10 times worse than the ones he already has.......after he's president of course. We can't afford it while he's president.

I have a problem with two or more jet setting queens vacationing all over the globe, spending millions upon millions of dollars, becoming a laughing stock wherever they go?

Where is the outrage about how Muslims treat their women?

Love is love DUmmies so why the hate and bigotry?

wasn't there some primitive that brought a 3rd into his marriage and they all celebrated about how forward that all was? why so grumpy now?

Aren't the complainers the same group of clowns who approve same-sex marriage? Yes, indeedy.

Polyphobes.
Oh, and racist (since Kenyans are usually black even though ours isn't).

Yeah that one caught the :hi5:. Had to be one of the best shows. Now of course Obiewun is on the down low with Reggie Love but that apparently that is a just long term committed relationship rather than marriage. Caught Reggie on one of the Sunday Talking Head shows. Talk about the ravages of sports head trauma, whoa mamma, is he the poster boy for it ?

Well if you take a little time and Nadin it you will find that Kenya is 82.5% Christian... so that is why the outrage. If Kenya were a predominant Muslim country this would have never been posted on DU.

I find it mean spirited, racist and bigoted that Kenyans cannot express their "civil right" to be married to whomever they choose. Numberist bigoted polygaphobes.
