I withdraw. Like even in my own sub-tribe in the Kalenjin Community, under customary law, you do not inform your wives of the coming of the second or the third wife. You just appear with a lady and she knows this is the wife, as long as I have paid dowry. This particular Clause offends the customs of the various tribes.
