It doesn’t matter if I believe it or not.
I happen to believe it.

My point being, in the 60’s, a world away,
the HI officials would have no clue and
would just accept their word and issue
the license.

So, in their government records, there could
be an official license recorded.

That’s their official knowledge and perception.

In reality, years after the fact, we would know
it’s illegal and he was in fact a bigamist, if
there was an official recorded marriage in Kenya,
but the records in HI don’t reflect that until
something triggers the change/modification with
new legal findings and a court order.

It doesn’t happen magically just because we’re
putting 2+2 together and getting 4.

Not only should there be verification that the alleged Kenyan marriage(s) did in fact take place...but that he remained married in Kenya when the HI marriage took place.

again, just because one or more people lied to get a marriage application does not make it a valid marriage in the eyes of immigration law in the UK.

Do you think this couple went and registered their marriage in some government office..and if they didn’t then their marriage wasn’t a marriage???

Why don’t you people actually read about what it takes to get married back in the day in the tribes.

Again, THERE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE AN OFFICIAL Kenyan GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT SAYING THERE WAS A MARRIAGE.
Find just one law that tells you that.

You can chose to either believe there was a marriage or not believe it.
The fact that they lied on the marriage application DOES NOT MAKE IT A VALID MARRIAGE FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES.

Why don’t some of you that continue to make this argument do something constructive. Go find the law that applies IF THERE WAS A VALID MARRIAGE AND SEE IF OBAMA WOULD HAVE TO REGISTER IF BORN IN THE US.
