Attorney General Dorcas Oduor has urged Kenyans to formally register their marriages, calling on couples married through customary traditions to obtain official certificates.
Speaking during a government outreach program at Kibigori Secondary School in Muhoroni Sub-County, Kisumu County, Oduor noted that the Registrar of Marriages, with offices spread across the country, is available to assist couples seeking to legalise their unions.
The event also marked a historic milestone after OAG officials officiated the registration of a polygamous marriage, issuing certificates to both of the man's wives. "Today, we have witnessed the Office of the Attorney General administer the registration of a polygamous marriage in this region.
We want to assure Kenyans that our offices are open and ready to provide these services," Oduor said.
