Open and closed doors

Proverb in the local language
Kumwikule kukwoo, kumwikale kwavene.
Proverb's direct translation
The door that is open is yours but a closed door is not yours.
Proverb's meaning
You should not date or marry someone who is already married. You should not take something that is already taken. Doing so can only breed conflict.
From: Luhya of Kenya
