[quote][b]President Barack Obama's polygamist half brother in Kenya has married a woman who is more than 30 years younger than him.[/b]
The 19-year-old's mother told The Associated Press on Friday she is furious that her daughter quit high school and married the 52-year-old.
Mary Aoko Ouma says her daughter tried to marry Malik Obama two years ago, but the mother says she would not give permission.
Malik Obama, who is Muslim, has two other wives. Polygamy is legal in Kenya if it falls under religious or cultural traditions.
In an interview broadcast by Kenya's NTV that was filmed without his knowledge, Malik Obama says he married the 19-year-old but didn't say when.

Her married her in Kenya. Not the US.
I don't really see why it makes a difference that it's Obama's half brother. It's not like he can be expected to change his family now that he is president.
I still don't get why people are making such a huge fucking deal about his religion and family.

im asking why kenya has more freedoms then the usa
[B]BECAUSE POLYGAMY IS A SIN AGAINST GOD AND YOU WILL BURN IN HELL FOR HAVING MULTIPLE WIVES[/B]
Mostly it's because of legality issues. Like splitting a will and what not. I mostly think of it because pimps and shit would get all the ladies and the fat, ugly, and old politicians wouldn't be able to get slutty tail.

fucking kenya figured this shit out. i think as a first world country, full of lawyers and people going to harvard and shit, im sure some sort of fair laws regarding the issue could be worked out given a few years?

also the entire point of the will is to specify who gets what, so, its just that people with multiple wives/husbands would just have to be more specific
pretty sure polygamy is legal in the US somehow because a while back I was reading a national geographic cover story about this guy that has like six or nine wives

Technically it is. The United States cannot restrict any practices of religion.

[quote=wiki]Polygamy, in particular polygyny where one man takes several wives, is a common marriage pattern in some parts of the world. However, in the United States polygamy has never been a culturally normative or legally recognized institution. In Canada , polygamy laws are written slightly different than in the USA. However, all provinces adhere to the [b]federal Criminal Code of Canada which makes polygamy an offense and punishable by up to five years in prison.[/b][/quote]
what the fuck canada
also yeah no polygamy in the usa

We know what side he got his playa genes from
So somehow someone somewhere thought this article would somehow made Obama look bad, even though his brother and Obama are part of super different cultures?
His brother is banging a 19 year old?

no legal benefits, therefore falling under the same kind of bullshit as gay marriage: excluding a group from fair coverage under the laws for religious reasons.
wooo freedom and separation of church and state!

They are married religiously, you can only really have one legal wife, still.
19 years old? Quit high school?
Why not finish it she should be done or possibly a few months away.
[QUOTE=Kybalt;25425712]what the fuck canada[/QUOTE]
It's legal in Saskatchewan and according to CBC,
[quote]There hasn't been a prosecution for polygamy in Canada for more than 60 years. [/quote]
I don't see the problem. Here the 15 to 20 year olds go for the +30/-40, they could be the age of their parents, or older, yet everyone's fine with it.
Scandinavia rules I suppose.

Yep that's exactly why they made it illegal, because they won't be able to have 8 wives because they're ugly :downs:

Blaming polygamy being illegal on religion is like blaming affirmative action on neo-nazis. Polygamy and patriarchal religions go hand in hand. Not saying it should be banned, but polygamist is far more like to be a misogynist or fundie than just an open minded individual.

This really. I don't see how anyone should care what Random African inhabitant #7759123 is doing with his life. A weak attempt at hurting Obamas name... and a low one at that.
