The government in Kenya has agreed on a new law on marriage. It has made many female politicians very angry. The Marriage Bill allows men to have as many wives as they want. Men will soon be able to marry other women without even telling their wife. There was a big argument between the male and female politicians. Many female lawmakers walked out of the debate in anger. The law was going to make it illegal to have more than one wife, but male lawmakers changed their mind. One male politician said the law was fair to women. He said that for the first time, women who get divorced would have 30 per cent of the family house and other things of value belonging to the couple.

肯尼亞政府通過了新的婚姻法。這項(xiàng)法律惹怒了許多女政治家?；橐龇ㄔ试S男性擁有多名妻子。男性可以在不告知其她妻子的情況下結(jié)婚。關(guān)于此事，政界的男性和女性展開了熱烈的討論。出于氣憤，許多女性法律制定者退出了爭(zhēng)論。一夫多妻制是不合法的，但是男性卻改變了注意。一位男性政界人士稱這項(xiàng)法律對(duì)女性很公平。他說離婚女性可以第一次拿到房產(chǎn)的30%，以及夫妻共同所有的其他事物。

Kenyan politician Samuel Chepkong'a said the new law simply keeps alive Kenya's traditions. He told reporters: "When you marry an African woman, she must know the second one is on the way, and a third wife. This is Africa." Kenya's Nation newspaper said the law did not show Kenya as a modern country. It wrote: "This is a [backwards] move that is simply taking us back into the Dark Ages, at a time when we should be strengthening family values." Female politician Sopian Tuya said the law was unfair to the first wife because the second wife would take all the money. She also warned men about marrying in secret, saying: "We know that men are afraid of women's tongues more than anything else."

肯尼亞政治家塞繆爾稱新法僅僅是傳承了肯尼亞的傳統(tǒng)。他告訴記者說：“如果你娶了一位非洲女性結(jié)婚，她絕對(duì)知道你還會(huì)有第二位，第三位妻子。這就是非洲。”科尼亞國家報(bào)紙稱這項(xiàng)法律沒有顯示出肯尼亞是現(xiàn)代國家的一面。文章寫到：“這是后退的一步，我們又退回到了黑暗時(shí)代，當(dāng)時(shí)我們強(qiáng)調(diào)的是鞏固家庭價(jià)值。”女政治家索菲亞·圖雅稱這項(xiàng)法律對(duì)原配妻子不公，因?yàn)榈诙纹拮訉⒌玫饺康呢?cái)產(chǎn)。她還警告那些秘密結(jié)婚的男性，稱：“眾所周知，男性最害怕的就是女性嚼舌根。”
