He certainly didn’t get arrested for bigamy.

So?

As for when Ruth knew about Kezia, I couldn’t tell you, for sure, because she apparently won’t talk about him.

I can tell you. It was when she was still in Boston, because her mother knew about it.

Since she remarried while he was alive and since bigamy is a crime in Kenya I’d say we can presume a divorce there.

No we can't. He had two more children with Kezia when he returned to Kenya.

Having a child by someone doesn’t prove a marriage and neither does a continuing relationship with someone other than your spouse. If it did half the population of France would be polygamists, which is a crime.

Obama, Sr’s, family say that the other children aren’t his and they can’t legally prove they are.

Look, he was an immoral, rotten, mean, drunk. I wouldn’t wish him on anyone as a husband. Morally he was a bigamist but morals aren’t law.

Even if he had been a bigamist under US law the marriage to Stanley Ann Dunham would have held up for legitimacy purposes. As long as she didn’t know about Kezia and he claimed he really believed he was divorced when he married Stanley Ann. She claimed she didn’t know about Kezia for some years and she didn’t cite him for bigamy either.

I don’t like anything I’ve read about the man but you can’t legislate morals.

BTW, I was talking about Ruth’s second marriage, not any “marriages” of Barack Obama, Sr.
