The High Court has dismissed a man's attempt to disown a woman seeking a divorce from him.
Justice Maureen Odero found that although there was little to prove that the man had paid dowry, his actions, which included introducing himself to the woman's family and living with her for seven years, amounted to marriage.
The man had asked the court to find that there was no marriage, as he neither paid a dowry nor had any children with the estranged woman.
