What's Next For Dennis Okari And Betty Kyallo's Troubled Marriage? - Divorce?

In November 2013, Dennis Okari shook the whole nation with his 'Seeds of Sin' expose. It was the first time Kenyans got to know about a rogue preacher named Victor Kanyiri. When Okari revealed Kanyari and other pastors' dubious ways of making money, many didn't know about his affair with Betty Kyalo until October 2015 when Betty Bayo had dumped Kanyari. That was when the TV couple was exchanging their vows. I'd really love to know what Kanyari thinks about their marriage, now that it has kind of hit the rocks. Karma?

Forget all the rumors and KOT tweets; no one really knows the primary cause of all this drama except the couple itself. Now that we at least know that things are thick, and they are not together, what's next? Divorce? Annulment? Reconciliation?

Every Kenyan citizen has right to petition for separation or divorce, but not because you partner sucks at sex. According to the law, a party to a marriage celebrated under Part IV may only petition the court for the separation of the parties or the dissolution of the marriage on the following grounds—
(a) adultery by the other spouse;
(b) cruelty by the other spouse;
(c) exceptional depravity by the other spouse;
(d) desertion by the other spouse for at least three years; or
(e) the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.

Another option would be annulment. This is basically a legal procedure which cancels a marriage between a man and a woman. Annulling a marriage is as though it is completely erased - legally, it declares that the marriage never technically existed and was never valid.

Grounds for annulment of marriage;
(1) A party to a marriage may petition the court to annul the marriage on the ground that—
(a) the marriage has not been consummated since its celebration;
(b) at the time of the marriage and without the knowledge of either party, the parties were in a prohibited relationship;
(c) in the case of a monogamous marriage, at the time of the marriage one of the parties was married to another person;
(d) the petitioner’s consent was not freely given;
(e) a party to the marriage was absent at the time of the celebration of the marriage;
(f) at the time of the marriage and without the knowledge of the husband, the wife is pregnant and that the husband is not responsible for the pregnancy; or
(g) at the time of the marriage and without the knowledge of the petitioner, the other party suffers recurrent bouts of insanity.
Lastly, they could just decide to reconcile and get back together. It might take time, but isn't it worth it? Plus, I'm sure Kanyari can help.
