"Barack was also worried about what his father would think because I was so young, but he gave us his approval. He sent my mother and father 14 cows for my dowry. "Barack's father was only a cook so it was a big sacrifice. Very soon after, we were married.
" That was January 1957. Kezia and Barack Snr set up home in Jericho, a section of Nairobi created for government employees, and began a family. First son Roy was born in March 1958. Kezia insisted:"Barack was a good husband.
" By the summer of 1959, he was bound for Hawaii, leaving Kezia three months pregnant with Auma. Kezia said: "I went with him to the airport. He gave me a cuddle and I was crying.
"He said, 'Bye bye, see you later when I come back.'
" Instead, Barack Sr met Barack Jr's mother, Ann, in Honolulu. She was an 18-year-old fellow student from Kansas and within months they were united in what appears to have been a bigamist marriage.

In the INS files, IIRC a U of HI administrator complains to INS that BHO Sr. is jumping co-eds even though he is known to be married back in Kenya and when questioned, he told the administrator that yes he was married, but he had used the expedient of a Muslim divorce by telling his wife three times "I divorce you."
There is no proof that BHO Sr. was a practicing Muslin and there is lots of evidence that he was a hard-drinking atheist. There is no evidence that his marriage to Kezia was Muslim (she reports it was tribal) and neither of his two children with Kezia were raised Muslim (Roy converted to Islam as an adult.
IMO, BHO Sr. was lying both about bein Muslim and about there being any divorce when he tried to justify jumping co-eds in HI. There is no evidence that BHO Srs. marriage to SADO was a Muslim plural marriage and it would have been illegal in HI if it was...and also an HI plural Muslim marriage (which it wasn't, IMO) would have been illegal back in Kenya because UK law doesn't recognize foreign marriages that are illegal where performed.
Further evidence of proof of the continuing marriage to Kezia is the letter in the Stanford archive written after the alleged marriage to SADO (1964?) in which BHO Sr. asked Tom Mboya to provide support his wife in Kenya.
The INS files show that INS and Harvard administrators believed so strongly that BHO Sr. was a predatory bigamist that this belief formed the basis for BHO Sr. being deported BEFORE he could complete his degree. The INS files also show BHO Sr. acknowledged Roy as his son, but NOT Barry, on one form (1964?).
All of this is strong circumstantial evidence that Kezia and BHO Sr. had a tribal marriage and there was never a divorce prior to his "marriages" to SADO or Ruth N.
She was listed as his widow on the probate records after he died in Kenya, so unless he remarried her upon returning to Kenya, he never legally divorced her, according to the Kenyan government.
