Kenya (1x3)

: 28, 2019

In Kenya, Charlotte Roche participates in a dowry ceremony with the Kalenjin tribe. The value of a woman is negotiated there by the tribal elders of both families and must be paid off by the family of the man for decades. At the center of this episode is the taboo theme Love and Money. How important is the money for love? Does it matter when falling in love? Together with Kui Akariza Mahihu, Charlotte wonders about Kenyan society and marvels: money and love are a much discussed topic in Kenya and money plays an important role in the choice of a partner. Charlotte Roche explains the economic construct of polygamy and learns that in modern Kenya polyandry is on the rise and why. Love and money - Charlotte is learning in Kenya - means to see love realistically.
