Just because you LIE on a marriage application does not mean your marriage is legal.

BULL , If it's recorded , and thought to be legal ,, IT IS LEGAL ,, until it is proven otherwise ... Do you have a marriage record for Obama Sr. from Kenya? Do you see on the Divorce records that Stanley referred to this at all as a reason for the divorce?

Have YOU bothered to see what constitutes a legal marriage by tribal custom in Kenya at the time?????

You can read all about it on the Kenyan government website that allows you to research old laws.

That’s bull. A marriage that was void at inception is not considered a legal marriage just because you got a marriage license. Good god, read some immigration case law.

That's a good point, she wouldn't have needed to get a divorce if she could have shown that he was already married. She'd need some sort of lawsuit though if she wanted to get any child support. But, in the event, she didn't ask for any in the divorce, nor any alimony.

Does anyone who read the divorce papers recall what the grounds were? I'm thinking it was "mental cruelty" or some other fairly innoucuous (for the time) grounds.
