On Tuesday, Maryanne Kitany is set to attend the funeral of Mithika Linturi's father in Igembe, Meru, a move that is likely to raise eyebrows given the couple's ongoing court battle.
Kitany and Linturi have been locked in a dispute over whether they are legally married, with Kitany claiming they wed under customary law and Linturi denying this, saying she was just a visitor at his home.
The outcome of the case will determine whether Kitany's father-in-law, who has passed away, was indeed her legal father-in-law.
