Luo women…TU Delft Open Research Platform

Tero Cholla or Luo is the practice of wife inheritance in Kenya among the Luo tribe in the Nyanza region.
Women are required to remarry the brother of the husband to ensure that the husband’s property is properly dispersed to her and any subsequent children, as explained by Standard Media.
In 1999, tero was banned by Provincial Commissioner Peter Raburu.
However, this does not mean that the practice has been done away with.
