Nairobi: A law allowing men in Kenya to marry as many women as they want was signed into law Tuesday by President Uhuru Kenyatta, despite criticism from women’s groups.
A statement from the presidency confirmed that the bill, which it said “consolidates various laws relating to marriage”, had been signed into law.
The bill, which amended existing legislation, was passed by Parliament to formalise traditional practice regarding marrying more than one person.
