Can My Marriage be Cancelled if i Lied About Something?.

FAMILY INTERFERENCE AND MARRIAGE.

On Sunday, Nakimuli and Fred visited his parents and told them about Nakku (Nakimuli and Kapeere’s daughter). This news shocked Rosette (Fred's sister), who called Nakimuli a ‘mufeere’ (liar and fraudster) because (a) she was not a virgin, and (b) she has a child from another relationship and even asked Fred to cancel and get out of the marriage This alarmed Nakimuli who wondered whether such as a thing could be used to end her marriage to Fred.

Can my marriage be cancelled if I lied about something?

The law says that there should be consent (knowingly allow something) when two people are entering a marriage. That consent meaning agreeing to marry someone knowing all the facts that may help you make your mind up about either doing it or not.

If a person can proof that their consent to the marriage was because of either force or fraud (trickery or deception), the court ‘cancel’ the marriage. This is called annulment of the marriage. (Treating the marriage like it never existed). This tends to extend to things that are fundamental to the marriage relationship, such as your religion, your marital status etc.

For example, if Fred had told Nakimuli that he did not want to marry someone with children, then knowing about Nakku (her child with Kapeere) and Nakimuli had lied about having no children, then it would be that Nakimuli deceived Fred into marrying her without knowing the truth

If you deceived your partner into thinking you were one thing and not the other, then your spouse can ask court for this cancellation. As things stand between Nakimuli and Fred, Nakimuli did not lie to Fred about Nakku (her daughter) so there is no need for Fred to ask for the annulment.

Can In-laws end Nakimuli’s marriage

No, they cannot.

In law, marriage is between two consenting adults. This means that it is only these two who can choose to marry or to leave the marriage. Anyone else whose consent was not needed for the marriage does not have a say in whether the court cancels this marriage.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...
