What Makes a Valid Marriage ?.

Saying "I Do" is not the most important part of getting married. Before you consider doing this, there are requirements that the law looks at before they can consider a marriage as being valid.

1. Venue: Every marriage must be at a licensed venue.

2. Time: The Ugandan law only allows weddings between 10am and 4pm.

3. Minister: Depending on the marriage you are entering; you need a licensed person to conduct it. This can be a religious leader, or a registrar of marriages or CAO (Chief Administrative Officer) – if you are doing it at a district other than Kampala.

4. Age: Only persons above 18 years can give their permission to marriage, so only those people (we call them adults) can enter marriage.

5. Consent: Only the two people getting married are allowed to give consent. However, some religions still require parental. If you intend to get married under that religion and this is a religious requirement, then you have to fulfil it.

6. Other existing marriage: Marriages are serious things and some marriages cannot be shared. There are polygamous (more than one wife) and monogamous (one spouse only) marriages. If you have entered a polygamous marriage, you cannot enter into the monogamous type except with the same person. And you cannot convert your monogamous marriage into a polygamous one.

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...

Parliament Urges Government to Provide Shs 4 Billion to Media Houses to Run Awareness Campaign on Tourism in Uganda.

Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24. The U.S, Europe & China were key target source for leisure tourist who stay longer than business tourists. However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...

I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...
