Bigamy is a thing that has rarely been recorded in Kenyan history but some of the women have done the unthinkable by being married to two men. Discussions have been elicited by this matter since the law is not against polygamy which is of equal measure to bigamy.
However, it is logical that two men marrying one wife might end up in disastrous fights that might even end up in killings. In as much as polygamy is never embraced by many women, they have dusky suffered in silence since no law stands for them in such circumstances. Due to this, the government enacted five-year imprisonment for anyone who got involved in such a crime.
DCI Officer On The Receiving End For Getting Married To To Men, How Was She Punished Since Its Against The Law?
Anne Wanjiru Waiganjo, a Directorate Of Criminal Investigations Officer in Karen was on the receiving end after being involved in bigamy. During her term in office, many identified her as a dedicated officer who looked into it that she delivers to Kenyans diligently which led to her rising to higher ranks.

Wanjiru Waiganjo is among the few women in our country who have been accused of being married to two men. Bigamy is against Kenyan law and due to this, she was duly risking a five-year term in jail.
Allegedly, Anne was married on 24th April 2009 to Mbitu, an officer in Nakuru but later on separated, though not formally and she got married to another officer by the name of Murimi. Murimi battered her and this left her hospitalized on several occasions and she quitting as a solution. Due to this, she filed for a divorce for some time that saw the 8-year relationship ended on 11th August 2020.
, Murimi took an action by accusing her of bigamy and duly granted her the divorce.
“She had already contracted another marriage with David Mbitu Muchia, a prisons officer, on April 4, 2009, at Full Gospel Church, Njoro Town, Nakuru County,” Murimi said in court documents at the time.
Waiganjo’s divorce move might have been the right thing to opt for since many women have suffered in silence at the hands of abusive and violent men. This has seen several women thrown into depression and a number of them ending up dead in the hands of such men. Her move was lauded by many but a number of the people castigated her for being involved with two men at a time which is a thing that could have duly endangered her life.
