Given the fact that Barak Sr. was ALREADY married back in Kenya, by any state’s law, the marriage to Stanley Dunham was invalid anyway, as it was bigamy.
Legally speaking, she was a single mother....and practically too, as they divorced after less than 2 years—with Barak Sr. after that having little or nothing to do with Barak, Jr.
I read earlier this evening (on one of the BC threads) that Obama Sr’s previous marriage (or marriages, whatever) in Kenya were tribal marriages that may not have had any legal standing.
