*shrug* I'm not a lawyer (Although I play one (badly) on FR...) but, I believe that the court errs on the side of accepting the validity of a marriage, indeed I know two separate lesbian couples getting divorced, even though legally they couldn't be married here.

I'm inclined to believe that Hawaii would recognize a valid Kenyan marriage, at least long enough to end it!

What happened in 1964 I couldn't say for sure, but imagine the public outrage and liberal hand-wringing that would happen if a Saudi moved here with his four wives, and the American courts refused to let wives 2-4 into the country!

I find even the lawyers that are lawyers play badly too, especially the lefty lawyers. ;-)
