Do you know there are tribes in Kenya where women are allowed to marry other women? About a year ago, a woman by the name Josephine discovered that she was barren. All efforts to get a child bore no fruits. Josephine approached her husband with a proposal to bring a visitor who would stay with the family forever. Shocked, the husband asked, “which kind of a visitor?”. Prepared for the worst, she replied, “you know my condition, I want to bring a co-wife”. A long silence filled the room, then the man cleared his throat, “if that’s the case, I have no problem”
There are many such cases in Kenya especially where the couple is unable to bear a child.
Below is a list of tribes where women are allowed to marry other women:
- Kiss
- Luhya
- Luo
- Kalenjin
- Turkana
- Maasai
If you come from those tribes and you realize that your wife is barren, you can tell her to bring another wife for you.
