Archdiocese of Nairobi "Allows" Polygamous Wedding
The Archdiocese of Nairobi, Kenya, "allowed" a polygamist, Patrick Ndachu, to marry in a church in Kiambu County on 5 May, reports TheKenyaTimes.com.
The archdiocese is headed by Archbishop Philip Anyolo, 67. A priest celebrated the alleged "marriage" between Ndachu and Margaret while Dina, Ndachu's second concubine, was in the pews. Dina agreed to the [pseudo] wedding on the condition that Ndachu divide his property between his two families.
Ndachu and Margaret "married" outside the Church in the 1970s, started a family, and have remained together for more than four decades. Ndachu later "married" Dina in the same way, with whom he also has children.
Local media report that it took five years to get "permission" for the polygamous wedding to take place.
"In the Church it is not allowed to marry two women. But when we are outside, I will announce to the world that I have two wives and I love them both," Ndachu said: "I did not want to hide anything. I asked them [whom?] to allow me to have a wedding and they all agreed."
