So, this is a very interesting marriage. While, at first hearing, it may sound like a practice of Lesbianism or same sex marriage, the Kalenjin community or culture, which this woman hails from, does not allow the women in the marriage to have sex. Infact, traditionally, such a marriage is not called "a same sex marriage" but a "culturally accepted marriage" only for reason of making children. Whatever the difference!
So culture does not permit homosexuality, but permits such a relationship on the grounds of seeking a child i.e if a woman is not able to have children, she is allowed to marry another woman who can sire children for their family.
Fascinating?
So how does Christianity perceive such a marriage?
Can this marriage fall under the category of homosexuality?
If homosexuality is described as 'a sexual attraction to (or sexual relations with) persons of the same sex', then can the above marriage may be classified as homosexual or otherwise.
Please note that she has four (minus 2 who were snatched away by real men) wives. And so, how do homosexuals comprehend a "homosexual polygamous marriage?"
