Am Kenyan and I want to be married by foreigner and am afraid if our marriage will be accepted in UK and Germany

[@ndunyamunene8161]

A number of Kenyan men marry in Church (monogamous)and later marry other wives customarily adding to the one married in Church . Are those unions legal?And isn't that going from monogamous to polygamous? Which union is more lawful

[@NairobiLegal-Insights]

A church/christian /civil marriage is monogamous in nature. This means whatever subsequent marriage you enter into is INVALID. The only way you can contract another valid marriage in this scenario is upon divorce or death of a partner. If one wishes to marry multiple wives, the best alternative is to contract a traditional marriage. When you marry under African customary law, the marriage you contract is potentially polygamous and all subsequent marriages are VALID.

How do you convert a monogamous marriage to a polygamous marriage?

[@NairobiLegal-Insights]

When it comes to conversion of marriage, one can only convert a potentially polygamous marriage into a monogamous one and not vice versa.

Great content and the channel has the potential to be a great resource. However there is: 1. Too much repetition. Being a KZbin video one can pause, rewind, listen over and over. The too much repetition can be avoided 2. Get to the point as fast as possible, your narration is too prolix. eg. At 1:20 you introduce civil marriages, then 15secs of *:;#()-#&(#!#+:52892, 2secs to mention the chapter and section, then another 15secs of 5-$158:()&$46;;__66-;(88&;!8 3. You ask your viewers to remember, yet this is the first video they are watching from your channel or even about the topic 🤷🤷 Display of the summary of the sections is good and even greater when you highlight what you are referring to. Keep up, you will get better and all the best in your quest to reach 5K. You have my sub.
