Marriage is supposed to be a beautiful thing. After all, the Good Book declares that ‘he who finds a wife, finds a good thing.’ But marital unions are not always rosy. Apparently, there are clans in Kenya whose women are a no-no for men seeking a happily-ever after marriage.
Women from some clans among the Kikuyu for instance, are renowned ‘headaches,’ while other clans are famous for ‘fast and furious’ separations, even before the totos crawl. To convince a love-struck man of the dangers, an aunt in the know would draw his attention to the fact that even the girl’s grandmother ‘ran away’ 500 times during her marriage.
