The men, believed to be relatives, were forced to lie face down as elders and other family members surrounded them in a tense gathering.
At the center of the session was an elderly woman who addressed each man directly.
She condemned their actions, reminding them that a husband’s role is to protect and care for his wife.
In her words, a man is like a driver who must ensure the safety of all passengers during a journey.
She scolded one of the men for subjecting his wife to unnecessary suffering despite her hard work and care for the children.
Another man was accused of arrogance and refusing to listen to advice.
The elders expressed disappointment, saying the three had not only disrespected their wives but also the entire family.
During the process, the men were flogged one by one while their mistakes were recited aloud.
Despite the physical punishment, the men appeared remorseful.
One begged the elders to stop, promising that they would change and treat their wives better.
The plea, however, was met with further warnings that continued abuse would no longer be tolerated.
When the video surfaced online, Kenyans reacted strongly.
Many condemned the punishment, saying it violated human rights and should have been handled by lawful authorities.
Others argued that while wife mistreatment must be addressed, public humiliation was not the right solution.
Some viewers defended the family’s actions, insisting that traditional discipline can sometimes succeed where modern systems fail.
A section of social media users even praised the elders for taking a bold step to protect women from abusive partners.
Still, others warned that such measures risk creating fear rather than genuine change.
The incident has now ignited a wider debate on how families and communities should handle domestic issues.
