Kenya: Family Gives One-Year-Old Girl to 50-Year-Old Man as ‘Future Bride’

WTAF?!

Neon Nettle: A family in southwestern Kenya reportedly gave their one-year-old baby to a 50-year-old man to “raise as a future wife.”

Kenya’s Daily Nation reported the grandfather of the family, identified as “an 80-year-old man” known as “J.S.,” gave his infant granddaughter to a male friend as compensation after an attempt to marry his teenage daughter fell through.

Last year, J.S.’s teenage daughter became pregnant by her secondary school-age boyfriend.

“To cover what the family considered to be ‘shame,’ she was made to drop out of school and be the fourth wife to KK, her father’s friend, from Ewaso Kedong in Kajiado West sub-county, who is thought to be in his 50s,” the Daily Nation reported. Local government officials thwarted the minor’s betrothal in August after learning of the marriage. more here

  1. Wait a second, isn’t that the wrong person in the meme to be using? Didn’t Freeman have an affair with his step-granddaughter? I believe the age difference was in the mid-40’s. Not much difference if you ask me.

  2. And this is from the article:

    “We could not also independently verify claims that an administrator had been bribed with Sh30,000 and a goat”

    You really can’t make this shit up.

    Hopefully for the little girl, this gets resolved soon.
