Where were Barack Obama's parents married?

Answer 1

Pres. Obama's mother Ann Dunham met Barack Obama Sr. in Honolulu, Hawaii while they were students at the University of Hawaii. Barack Obama Sr. was the first African American student at the University. The two married on the island of Maui on February 2, 1961 and Dunham was three months pregnant.

At the time Dunham was not informed that Obama Sr. was already married with two sons in Kenya before he came to college in Hawaii. He later told her about the marriage but then said he was divorced. Kenzia, his first wife said she had given him permission to marry a second wife in keeping with Luo tradition customs.

The two were divorced in January 1964 and Obama Sr. was killed in a car accident in 1982. Pres. Obama was raised solely by his mother.

Answer 2

Most biographical sources state that Barack Obama Senior and (Stanley) Ann Dunham did in fact marry in Hawaii (her parents were very much opposed to the marriage). It is also true that he had a wife in Kenya, from whom he was not legally divorced; it was acceptable in his culture to have more than one wife. But there is no evidence that Ann knew about her new husband's other family in Kenya; Barack Senior had told her he was divorced from his first wife, and thus eligible to marry in the United States; she seems to have believed him at that time, and only later found out he had been dishonest about it.
