“(ii) Polygamy: In recognition of custom and belief, Kenya recognises polygamy. The Marriage Act defines marriage as the voluntary union of a man and a woman, whether monogamous or polygamous. The Act also provides that customary and Muslim marriages are presumed to be polygamous or potentially polygamous. Polygamy is widespread in Kenya, since a majority of Kenyans live under customary law, especially in matters relating to personal law, and a significant number live under Islamic law. It is thus crucial that the State recognises and regulates these marriages. Polygamy violates women’s rights, and is one of the leading causes of women being deprived of their inheritance Steps must be taken...more

“(iii) Same-sex marriages: Another aspect to note about the Marriage Act’s definition of marriage is that it limits marriage to a “union of a man and a woman”, thus excluding same-sex marriage. The Constitution also provides that “every adult has the right to marry a person of the opposite sex”. This position was affirmed in the Marriage Act and is inconsistent with broad, progressive and equitable understandings of family” (57-58).

“Since the Maputo Protocol, that clearly prohibits marriage under the age of 18, was adopted, many of the countries studied have engaged in law reforms. Some of them, such as Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and The Gambia have an absolute ban on marriage under the age of 18. Despite the legal ban, child marriage is still prevalent in some of these countries and more needs to be done to sensitise communities on the law and the dangers of child marriage; and to address the root causes of child marriage” (9).
