MĀORI PARTY CANDIDATE HOPING TO BRING BACK TOMO, A TYPE OF ARRANGED MARRIAGE
A Māori mum of four is wanting to bring back the once common cultural practice of tomo; a type of arranged marriage
It's a tikanga that has been modernised and Ms Kapa-Kingi says making tomo commonplace again is political.
"This is Māori science applied. That's what I'm doing. That's what I am ready to apply, the science in the most 1840 way that will never go away."
