He wasn’t legally married to his “wife” in Kenya, he married her in a tribal ceremony not registered with the civil authorities which does/did not count under British law.

Flying outside the rules of civilized society. The rules don’t count. Technicalities. What Ann didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her. And those kids left behind in Africa, never mind about them . . .
That’s 0’s dream from his father. What footsteps to follow.
