Days after CNN ran an expose about the shocking lifestyle of the Kenyan night runners, Al-jazeera released a damning masterpiece about a tribe in Migori that allowed marriages of same sex couples.

The documentary shot in Kuria, Migori county shocked many, especially those in churches and mosques. Nyumba Mboke , as it known is a practice by the Kurian community that allowed women to marry each other. However this is done by older barren or widowed women without children, who decide to find a much younger woman to bare children for them.

This practice has been going on for decades, it's not new, residents say. The practice started way back. Older women would marry younger girls and make them sleep with men to sire children who they would later call their own.

A teenager identified as Boke narrated how she found herself living with an older woman called Gati. This was after she fell pregnant while still in school and her father decided to have her undergo FGM and later got her married. Gati, explained why she had to marry the young teenager. She narrated how she faced discrimination after her husband died leaving her without children. She married Boke to make her sire children.

The men involved in making babies in these unions always walk away without any responsibilities. Their tasks is to help the couple sire. Residents say this is not new. The practice does not only take place in Migori but also in the interior parts of luhya.

The government has started workshops to educate the natives of the dangers that come with same sex marriages and FGM.
