IS IT OK TO PROMISE TO MARRY SOMEONE ON VALENTINE’S DAY AND YOU DON’T GO THROUGH WITH THE PROMISE ?.

By Editor

Babu wants to start a relationship with Namukasa however all his previous attempts have failed. Someone has told him that if he wants Namukasa to go out with him on Valentine’s Day, then he should just propose to her. Babu has a ring and has a venue. However, he honestly does not really see himself getting married after they have gone out. Is this legal? 

  

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? 

The law has a thing called “Breach of Promise to Marry” which means that a person has made a promise to marry another, and then backed out of their agreement. However it is very hard to prove. Usually, For a contract to be valid, both the parties must be in the agreement (after an offer has been made by one party and accepted by another) and something of value must be exchanged --such as cash, services, or goods (or a promise to exchange such an item) -- for something else of value. This is called consideration 

There must be some action that the person has taken to show their intention to marry you such as conducting a kukyala and setting dates for the wedding. Namukasa also has to take steps that show that she is serious about this, like organizing the kukyala and after it has happened, then preparing for the wedding. Consequently, for Babu to refuse to marry Namukasa after promising to marry her and after having a successful Kukyala would amount to a breach of contract. They had entered into a successful agreement to get married and she had spent a lot of time and money on the preparation for the wedding function.

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

By Editor
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...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly.   After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.   Can ...
