Danstan Omari, the man who married late gospel singer Betty Bayo, has clarified details surrounding his union, emphasizing that his marriage was solely with Betty Bayo and not her children.
Speaking in a recent interview, Omari insisted that while he has taken responsibility for the family, he did not pay dowry for the children, highlighting the distinction between marrying Betty and the guardianship of her kids.
“The man who married Betty Bayo, only married Betty Bayo, and he only paid dowry for Betty Bayo, not the kids,” Omari explained, offering clarity on the issue that has sparked speculation among fans and the public.
The statement has stirred discussions online, with many Kenyans debating the responsibilities of stepparents and the role of dowry in modern marriages. Some praised Omari for stepping in to support the children, while others questioned the legal and cultural implications of the clarification.
Analysts note that such matters often highlight the complexities of blended families, especially when public figures are involved. Omari’s remarks underline the challenges of balancing respect for cultural traditions with the responsibilities of caring for children after the death of a spouse.
