[h=3]Gay Kenyan couple file for divorce 2 years after wedding[/h]
The Kenyan gay couple who two years ago made headlines around the world after their civil wedding in London are back in the limelight again, this time seeking a divorce.
Mr Daniel Chege Gichia confirmed that the divorce was filed by his civil partner, Mr Charles Nganga Wacera, alias Charles Ngengi months ago.
He said the court was expected to issue a decree nisi soon. Decree nisi is the first step towards the court recognition that a marriage has irretrievably broken down.
In the UK, if decree nisi is not challenged for six months by either couple, a final order decree absolute is issued and this legally brings the marriage to an end.
I dont know why the courts ruling has taken this long. I am sure it will come out any time from now, Gichia said.
If the divorce goes through, it will be Gichias second marriage having first married a Briton, Mr David Cleave. That union too broke down.
