The question of whether or not Stanley Ann Dunham was married or lawfully married to Barack Hussein Obama is very complicated because it is also very problematic in evidence and circumstances.
The problems begins with Stanley Ann Dunham purportedly becoming pregnant in early November 1960 at 17 years of age and shortly before her 18th birthday. The unmarried Stanley Ann Dunham allegedly names Barack Hussein Obama as the father of their forthcoming baby by sometime in December 1960. At this point in time Barack Hussein Obama has already been married to another woman in Kenya with whom he has produced children. Nonetheless, Barack Hussein Obama and Stanley Ann Dunham claimed to have been “lawfully married in Wailuku, Maui, State of Hawaii, on February 2, 1961, by a person duly authorized to perform marriage ceremonies and ever since that date have been and are now husband and wife (divorce papers).” Other sources have alleged the marriage ceremony had been performed as a Muslim marriage by a Muslim cleric. Based on the evidence of the official divorce documents, it appears as if the State of Hawaii acknowledged the existence of a lawful marriage which was to be terminated by an official divorce. This official evidence then prompts a number of corollary questions.
Why has no one been able to find the Hawaiian marriage license and Hawaiian marriage certificate for this marriage reported by the Hawaiian divorce court?
In later years the State of Hawaii required a bride who is 18 years of age to submit proof of age in the form of a birth certificate to be filed with the application for a marriage license. If this requirement was also in force in 1961, why has no birth certificate for Stanley Ann Dunham been found with an application for a marriage license?
Were no marriage license application, birth certificate, marriage license, or marriage certificate found because they never existed and the divorce court had been deceived into accepting fraudulent evidence of such a marriage ceremony?
There were some men in that era who found it expedient to use extraordinary measures to placate girlfriends anxious to be properly married. They simply found an impostor to pretend to be a lawful clergyman performing a marriage ceremony. The duped girlfriend then went forward believing she was a lawfully married wife, when in reality she was not married at all. Barack Hussein Obama knew he would be committing the felony crime of bigamy under U.S. laws Did he perhaps resort to pretending to marry Stanley Ann Dunham and expect this faked marriage to help him obtain permanent residence in the United States, yet reserve a defense against a possible felony charge of bigamy in the event the multiple marriages, real and unreal, were discovered?
Did Stanley Ann Dunham knowingly enter into a sham marriage to assist Barack Hussein Obama Sr. fraudulently obtain permanent U.S. residence as the spouse of a U.S. citizen?
Did Barack Hussein Obama marry Stanley Ann Dunham in Kenya? The answer to that question is that it would have been very very unlikely, although not entirely impossible. Until recent years, Kenya maintained the colonial era legal prohibitions against inter-racial marriages between so-called Europeans and Africans in Kenya, whether or not they are native to Kenya. Marriages between an African race husband and a European race wife, although both born in Kenya, have been annulled as illegal under Kenyan law decades after 1961. So, it appears highly likely that Barack Hussein Obama Sr. was prohibited against entering into such marriages within Kenya.
A U.S. Consulate issued Certificate of American citizenship, if it had been issued in the name of Barack Hussein Obama Jr. raises a number of problems.
If Stanley Ann Dunham was married to Barack Hussein Obama on 2 February 1961 or was deceived into believing she was so married, did she travel on a U.S. Passport under her new married name, Mrs. Barack Hussein Obama, Stanley Ann Obama, or Stanley Ann Dunham Obama?
If she traveled on a U.S. Passport as the married wife of Barack Hussein Obama, who had British citizenship, then how is it possible for her baby, Barack Hussein Obama Jr., to have been issued a Certificate of American Citizenship by the U.S. Consulate in Kenya?
Stanley Ann Dunham was only 18 years of age in August 1961, which made her 1 year too young for U.S. And international law to confer statutory U.S. Citizenship upon the child. A married mother had to be at least 19 years of age to confer her U.S. Citizenship upon her child, otherwise the child’s citizenship is required to be the same as the father’s citizenship. Did Stanley Ann Dunham obtain a U.S. Passport that falsified her age to make her appear to be 19 years of age and fraudulently eligible to confer her U.S. Citizenship to her child by a statutory Certificate of American citizenship?
If a mother is unmarried and father’s citizenship undetermined, the citizenship of the foreign born child becomes the U.S. Citizenship of the mother. Did Stanley Ann Dunham travel to Kenya as an unmarried 18 year old female and apply for her child’s statutory Certificate of American Citizenship on the claim the father of the child and the father’s citizenship were unknown? If so, then how did she later persuade the Hawaiian divorce court she was married on 2 February 1961 at Maui, Hawaii and had remained married to that day in divorce court? Did she lie to the U.S. Passport Office, the U.S. Consulate, the Hawaiian Divorce Court, some of them, or all of them?
Was Barack Hussein Obama Jr. born with U.S. Citizenship, or was he never a lawful U.S. Citizen?
Was Barack Hussein Obama Jr. born with statutory U.S. Citizenship?
If so, how is it even possible for him to have born a Natural Born Citizen of the United States, or was he born a Natural Born Citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain as Sir Winston Churchill was also the son of a former U.S. Citizen mother? Should Sir Winston Churchill have run for election to the Office of the President of the United States after being voted out of office as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain?
I am missing something, please list the important piece of evidence here, and the conclusion it supports.
Side note: all of the documentation I have seen WRT Barack Hussein Obama, the POTUS has him labeled as “Barack Hussein Obama II,” NOT Jr. Even though under normal conventions, a baby boy named after his father would be a Jr.

One possible scenario could be that she did not amend her passport yet with her new name ( could have been a number of reasons for that ). After birth, she found out what the law was. So, instead of claiming that she was married, she told the consulate officer that she was unwed - there was no way to prove otherwise. Thus the COC was issued despite her being underage.
