“The Marriage Act 2014 defines various types of marriages including monogamous, polygamous, customary, Christian, Islamic, and Hindu marriages,” said Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta. On Tuesday, Kenyatta signed into effect a law that allows a man to legally marry as many women as he chooses. The original draft of the law allowed the husband’s first wife to veto the marriage, but male members of parliament successfully vetoed that clause. There is no limit to the number of wives a man can have.
