I was shocked and filled with awe to discover that there exists some kenyan men in the US and Europe with two families that doesn't know about eachother.The wife in kenya tells the children how hard their dad is working to afford them good life,the other wife in US or wherever is also in total darkness about her husband's kenyan family.

Now isn't that polygamy?To such a man which of the two families matter most?

i don't really know about who matters most in this scenario all i know is that polygamy is illegal in europe and australia...i don't know about US

Now now now, do not confuse polygamy with bigamy. What the people in your example are practising is called bigamy - having another marriage without the knowledge of your wife. As far as I'm concerned all people who practise polygamy have both parties equally aware of the arrangement.

[chotadipo]

Just to add onto the above, bigamy is unlawful anywhere in the world because it amounts to dishonesty. Polygamy on the other hand exits within legal frameworks in countries that have muslim populations or have customary laws that permit it. Entering into polygamous marriages is a process that is sanctioned under law and certain things have to be met. Bigamy on the other hand is just that, falsehood.

[ice pick]

i see nothing wrong with it as long as both families get their needs fulfilled.

I know of a case in which the husband is in kenya and the wife in the states,even though the wife visits twice a year,she is married to a jungu with no kids.I wonder how she manages to sleep with both of them without mixing the names at night.

Some countries have strict laws against promiscuity and harsh consequenses if nabbed. And since man is by nature a multi server (in terms of mating game) absence away from the spouse separated by thousands of miles calls for creative measures to counter suffering celibacy. An agreement reached by both parties recognizes the temporary permanent nature of the relationship which serves both parties well. Hence the bigamy....
