Following the controversial decision in the US,
allowing gay marriages, a new controversy on Kenyan law allowing to
marry multiple wives without consulting existing spouses arises on the
internet. See what Nigerians think about that.
Despite Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta signed the law allowing
marrying multiple wives without consulting existing spouses a year ago,
the discussion on that issue arose again following the
controversy about the decision to allow gay marriages in the US. The thing is that Barack Obama is about to visit Kenya at the end of this month to open the Global Entrepreneurship Summit.

Under the new law, anyone who enters into a same-sex marriage or civil union can be sentenced to 14 years in prison while any such partnerships entered into abroad are deemed “void”.
