Appellate court revokes matrimonial home award to woman who bought furniture as contribution.

A woman, AJM, has lost her claim to their palatial house in Nairobi after the appellate court said buying furniture is an insignificant contribution to guarantee a share of matrimonial property.

The woman, who divorced her husband CLO after 34 years of marriage, said that she had bought furniture for their matrimonial home at Avenue Park Phase Two.

On September 17 2024, Justice Hillary Chemitei awarded AJM 80 per cent shares in the home, while CLO who bought and serviced the loan for the house, was awarded 20 per cent shares.
