Polygamy: Why more young men are licking from many honey pots

It was after 10 years of marriage and two children together that Mary 's husband brought home his second wife, without any discussion or warning.
The 39 -year-old teacher, Mary (not her real name), had to share her home and husband with a woman almost half her age.
Things changed after the new woman moved in. He stopped caring. The school fees, clothes, toys and family outings stopped. But his new family was well taken care of.
"I went through depression. I had a choice of whether to stay or walk out. I stayed," says Mary.

For many decades, religion kept polygamy out of sight and out of mind in Kenyan marriages. But recently things have started to crumble.
Stephen Letoo, a TV journalist and self-proclaimed chairman of polygamists last week posted a photo of himself with two damsels standing on eitherside. The photo was a clear porttrayal of a polygamist enjoying the 'fruits' of his labour, and sparked off a huge debate on social media.

The-31-year-old TV darling says being brought up in a polygamous setup in Maasai land made him see the beauty and peace of marrying more than one wife.
"Back then, larger families were traditionally seen as a source of pride, wealth and high social status. They were considered to be protective for women in cultures where they cannot own resources like land," said Letoo .
