Some news around the globe is unimaginable, unbelievable and shocking. This is far from being called love, because how can two men agree to marry one woman and share her equally, is this really possible? This was how it happened;
Two Kenyan men have signed an agreement to “marry” the same woman, reports says, the woman had been having affairs with both men for more than four years and apparently refused to choose between them. The agreement sets out a rota for Sylvester Mwendwa and Elijah Kimani to stay in her house and states they will both help raise any children she bears. Lawyers said their “marriage” would be legally recognised if they could prove polyandry was part of their custom. Mr Mwendwa and Mr Kimani drafted the agreement after realising they had both been having an affair with the woman in Mombasa County for more than four years, the local Daily Nation newspaper reports. Community policing officer Adhalah Abdulrahman persuaded the two men to marry the woman after he saw them fighting over her, it reports. “We have agreed that from today we will not threaten or have jealous feelings because of our wife, who says she’s not ready to let go of any of us,” the agreement says, Kenya’s NTV station reports.
“Each one will respect the day set aside for him. We agree to love each other and live peacefully. No one has forced us to make this agreement,” it adds. Mr Mwenda said her parents had given their blessing, while he is planning to pay the bride price. Polygamous marriages often take place in Kenya, but wife-sharing is unheard of, correspondents say.
This is indeed very shocking. What is your take on this?
