Video: Kenyan woman MP backs polygamy

A video of a female lawmaker in Kenya calling for men to consider marrying more wives to tackle "problems in the society" is being shared on Twitter.

Gathoni Wa Muchomba,who is one of 47 lawmakers holding a special seat reserved for women in parliament, said that polygamy will solve some of the problems people were facing. 

She said bringing up children, in the absence of their fathers, has led to serious social problems among the youth, The Daily Nation reports.


Many female legislators were against it. 

It brought civil law, where a man was only allowed one wife, into line with customary law, where some cultures allow multiple partners.
