When two people are joined together in holy matrimony, they take vows that are meant to keep the union still until death but sometimes it doesn't always play out.

More often than not when the differences are irreconcilable, couples resort to separation and divorce.

Divorces are often long processes that take months or even years to finalize especially when there is a division of assets and finances.

Here is a list of top divorces in Kenya right now that cuts across media personalities, artists and even clergymen.
