There are a number of things a Kisii man can unknowingly do, that can pick him a curse or get shunned by the community.
It's upon every Kisii man to be knowledgeable of appropriate behaviour, that is communally and traditionally accepted.
Traditionally and even in the modern day, Kisii men who break the set rules of shame (chinsoni) are punished.
Here is what to avoid doing as a Kisii man at all costs
1. Eating chicken meat at your In-laws' place.
You may be set for testing if you're worth taking their daughter when your in-laws plan to serve you with chicken meat.
Don't fall into such a trap even if you're urbanely brought up. Just come up with a thousand excuses why you've never eaten chicken meat, despite your insatiable appetite with 'chips-kuku'.
In short, your in-laws are trying to profile you, if you're predatory and easy to cheat on their daughter.
Those more strict can loosely translate it that you're morally corrupted to desire mother and daughter.
2. Facing mothers-in-law now and again.
The Kisii culture prohibits sons-in-law from seeing their mothers-in-law from time to time.
A breach of that custom is a sign of disrespect.
Every son-in-law is expected to have respect (ogosika) on his wife's mother.
As a man, you should fear your mother-in-law and stay away from any event that may lead you two to meet, unless it's necessary or unavoidable.
3. Setting foot in your married son's house.
It's a taboo for a Kisii father to set a foot in his son's house.
It's evil and demanding of the father to offer a sacrifice for cleansing.
If you enter your married son's house, or a married son of your brother's house, it literally means you've gone into bed with their wives.
You'll be expected to buy a white goat and have the clan elders to approve your sacrifice.
Failure to have a cleansing means your son's marriage to be problematic and it will eventually collapse.
