I am in the process of marrying a second one wife and I have gone through the marriage Act of 2014 which consolidates all the laws concerning marriage in Kenya.

The Marriage Act 2014 defines various types of marriages such as;
1.Monogamous marriage
2.Polygamous marriage
3.Customary marriage
4.Christian marriage
5.Islam marriage
6.Hindu marriage

The Act further defines marriage as “a voluntary union of a man and a woman whether in a monogamous or polygamous union registered under the Act”

The act also states that marriages registered under the Act have the same legal status.

Nowhere in the Act does it require a man to seek consent of the “first wife “(she has not choosen a number in any case) when marrying subsequent wives.

As a good ethical loving husband to my current one wife; I served my wife with a notice of intent to marry an additional wife to help her in meeting my conjgal rights which she furiously refused to accept.

She has given me empty rhetoric threats and from my own assessment the threats may amount to something very serious or may just fizzle out (based on past experiences of such threats).
My question is, Can I sue her in court on the basis of her refusal to recognise and adhere to the Kenyan laws and statutes (non adherence to the laws of Kenya) and for her infringement on my rights by refusing to let me and my other wife to a voluntary union? Will it be a criminal or a civil prosecution? and if its civil, can I get a friendly lawyer who is willing to accept and argue my case in court?

Talk to alphadot.He's more experienced in these matters.
Polygamous marriages are like bill of ladings where
the man is the master bl and the wives are house bl's.
It's only muslims who can maintain a perfect and peaceful balance cz their women are ok with it.
(i stand to be corrected)

@kysse don't be rediculous. Are you saying there is no landing in monogamous marriage? You should be happy for this, because now you can have a chance to get married, since I know most of those men you know are married, many single ladies will tell you all good men are married. So you should be happy one of them will marry you legally now.

1.Monogamous marriage - purely monogamous, no other way out.
2.Polygamous marriage - it is polygamous upfront, from the first wife and she knew it was monogamous, so no question of refusing. So I guess you didnt marry your "fake" first wife on this but on (1) above. So forget court, you're finished.
3.Customary marriage - this is according to that particular custom, Luo or Kikuyu or Kalenjin or Kamba or Maasai or whatever community, so if you marrie your "first" wife customary, then consult your wazee on how to go about taking another one
4.Christian marriage - is like no. (1) above. It's purely monogamous. No way out.
5.Islam marriage - is according to Sharia law. Marry twos or threes or fours, but if you cannot afford, MARRY ONLY ONE.
6.Hindu marriage - is according to Hindu law, their religious book allows polygamy without limit, but the Indian government put it in the constitution that only one wife. Now for those Kenyan citizens, they can marry more than, to infinity

I hope that helps. And please stop fishmomgering and settle down. And since I know you have huge appetite, I advice you to avoid Church or Monogamous marriage like plague. Choose the other activities that will allow you to add morein future.
