According to her, there was no problem with her getting married at that age and that she would not stop her studies just because she is married.
“I finished my fourth form on April 21, 2021, and joined the university on September 27. I don’t see anything wrong with getting married.
“University is a place where you can get married and no one will question you. You pregnant and you face no discrimination,” she explained.
Melon and Sharon reunited 19 years after being separated at birth in 1999 at Kakamega Provincial General Hospital, which is currently called Kakamega County Referral Hospital.
After linking up in social media, the two were able to meet together alongside their other sister Mevis Imbaya, who had all along been Melon’s twin.
DNA results confirmed that Sharon and Melon were identical twins.
Sharon grew up in Kangemi, Nairobi, while her twin and Mevis were brought up in Kakamega. Melon scored a C in KCSE while Sharon scored a C+.
