Good Luck.
The government Kenya has agreed a new law marriage. It has made many female politicians very angry. The Marriage Bill allows men to have as many wives as they want. Men will soon be able to marry other women without even telling their wife. There was a big argument between the male and female politicians. Many female lawmakers walked of the debate anger. The law was going to make it illegal to have more than one wife, but male lawmakers changed their mind. One male politician said the law was fair women. He said that the first time, women who get divorced would have 30 per cent the family house and other things value belonging the couple.

Kenyan politician Samuel Chepkong'a said the new law simply keeps alive Kenya's traditions. He told reporters: "When you marry an African woman, she must know the second one is the way, and a third wife. This is Africa." Kenya's Nation newspaper said the law did not show Kenya as a modern country. It wrote: "This is a [backwards] move that is simply taking us into the Dark Ages, a time when we should be strengthening family values." Female politician Sopian Tuya said the law was unfair the first wife because the second wife would take all the money. She also warned men marrying secret, saying: "We know that men are afraid women's tongues more than anything else."
