Controversial Captain Kale has awoken the wrath of many after saying that married women whose dowry has been paid should not have freedom.

According to Kale, if the dowry has been paid, you belong to that man.

'When I married her, I paid for her, hence me owning her. She should do as I say.

Even her going to say hi to her parents, needs me to think about it, she should notify me prior, si kutanga tanga kama saitan. '

Below are some more reactions on whether women should be allowed total freedom in marriage.

Hillary Too Kip: Marriage is actually a transmission from being alone to being with someone so any decision involves two parties you can't just decide yourself to do your own. Freedom is allowed but it's limited if you are a type of woman who wants it in plenty just be single you will have it limitless.period.
Dinah Kinyae: When I leave the house, he shouldn't ask me where I'm going and when I come back, he shouldn't ask me where I'm coming from. I'm a grown-up and know my limits dammit.
Douglas Adaka: Ladies who demand freedom after dowry is paid are saboteurs and they should know that they are legally owned. Only those who dowry hasn't been paid should demand freedom.

Marie Kamash: In marriage there is nothing called freedom. A man will be his wife's keeper and a woman would be her husband keeper. If you know what you are doing isn't wrong in your marriage why do u ask for freedom?
Mike Nyingi: You can't be married and want to behave like you are single.... Once in a marriage, it's no longer me or I... it's us or we.
When you say "we become one" you don't apply it selectively... ukiyavulia nguo yakoge..... If you are in, you are in!! Ukitaka hiyo freedom mob...stay single....do what you want when you want!
Oloo J Mulahi: After crazy demands from her parents inform of dowry she still wants freedom from her owner?! What business concept is this?
