What Roth did find were happy people whose culture was vastly different from her own. Polygamy was not just allowed or encouraged, said Roth. It was a part of life. A man's first wife was chosen by his parents, his second was chosen by the first, and he had no choice in the matter until his third wife.

"I gave my neighbor a cantaloupe, and he was like, 'Oh, you want to be married?'" said Roth. "I was like, 'No, I gave you a cantaloupe.'"

Roth said she couldn't believe the women didn't rise up against their oppression. She said it took her a while to realize the women were happy.

We live in a topsy turvy world. We cannot see our own misery and we think those who live differently are oppressed and miserable.

Classic. He tells her he'll have multiple wives, she marries him anyway, he gets a second wife; now she's mad. Good story. I wont spoil the end.

Quote:
"Polygamy Kenya is an organization founded under the Constitution of Kenya after the passage of the Family Bill in 2014"

And...

"The organization started its activities officially in 2015. It has branches in 24 counties and a membership of about two million people."

Obviously, polygamy is happening much more out there in the wider world than in our "ignore the Bible" society. "membership of about two million people"!!

The blind in religious institutions create further blindness and destruction. Evil is called good and good is called evil. The little people are made to be confused and bitter. I yet have hope to one day see the KING of kings reign in righteousness - so come Lord Jesus! But while we wait for that event, many suffer religious abuse. The man and his family this article tells about was damaged by the error of his church re polygyny. The writer was left thinking homosexuality should be more generously accommodated so gays and lesbians don't have to endure uncharitable suffering as this man had to because of his parent's polygyny. The whole thing is skewed and just sad from beginning to end, but such error and confusion continues unabated to this day. What a need there is for the truth that we know to spread and thus dispel the darkness!

Heartbreaking article. 60 years of pain created by false doctrine masquerading as 'righteousness.' Appalling.
