Wambui Otieno Virginia Wambui Otieno (1936–2011) was a Kenyan activist, politician and writer. She rose to prominence in 1987, as a result of her controversial legal fight between her and her husband's (SM Otieno) clan over the right to bury her husband. The case was an unprecedented balance between customary laws; inter tribal marriage and modern-day (civil) marriage. Hers was the most protracted legal case in Kenya's history that saw the court lean towards culture than modern-day marriage, when the burial rights were awarded to the husband’s clan. The ruling gaped a big hole over the women rights in the country.
