Jail is a place most sane individuals would rather avoid at all costs. It is a place with no dignity, with people being closed in like animals in a zoo!. So any person that can avoid it, should. But the man in this story might be facing a jail sentence because of his “normal” appetite in having more than one wife. Hehehe!
A man by the name Abdulaziz Mohammed Abdul was arraigned in a Nairobi court and charged for marrying a second wife. Abdulaziz is said to have married a second wife while still married to his first wife. Mr Abdulaziz who pleaded not guilty was released on cash bail of Sh30,000. However if found guilty, he will be sentenced to one year jail term in accordance with the Kenyan law on bigamy.
Bigamy is a Kenyan law that makes it an offense for a married person to undergo a marriage ceremony when the current one still exists. Priti Khimji Vadgama( Indian?) who claims to be his legal wife is the complainant. According to court reports, she wants her husband to face assault charges. Don’t forget, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!
The accused who was arraigned at the Milimani Senior Resident court told the court that he has never been married. Oh really? The case will be mentioned on the 20th November,2017. I don’t know about this one guys? I know Muslims are allowed to marry at least 4 wives, so why is Abdulaziz facing these charges? Or for the 4 wife rule to apply, do all the participants have to adhere to the Islamic religion?
