"content": "Looking at these procedures, it is like the one who is marrying is paying dowry twice. First, you pay the Registrar of Marriages by complying with the procedures before you pay the real dowry. It is like you start to pay dowry by complying with the procedures, which should not have been the case. It is actually marginalising the one who is marrying. The man is the one marginalised. The law needs to be fair to this person. You are marrying, paying dowry and at the same time you are paying money to comply with the procedures. It would be fair to ensure that this thing is affordable to Kenyans."
