WHAT YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT CIVIL AND CHURCH MARRIAGE.

By Editor

We know this is a bit of a touchy subject, but…. Has any of you noticed how these two marriages are so similar…. Both are monogamous, both need a notice to the public, both must be registered, etc . Because of this, it is possible to have both a civil and a church marriage. But… would it be worth it to have one and then go and start over with the other as well? 

Instead, here is a tip. Choose one and make sure all the requirements of that One are followed. 

The law gives the church powers to officiate weddings and join people in marriage following the Christian practices and beliefs. However, it also requires them to follow some requirements set by law. Such as making marriage announcements so anyone with a reason why the two shouldn’t be married can come forward and tell them church (this is called a marriage banns like the marriage notice in civil marriage) and registering the marriage with Uganda Registration Services Bureau - Registrar of Marriages (who keeps a record of who married whom).

If you choose a church marriage make sure the church has a license to wed, that you are being wed between 10am and 4pm and that the church has registered your marriage with the registrar of marriages.  If you do choose to have a civil marriage, follow what is required and then go to church to be blessed by your religious leader. This way, you will have the ‘best of both worlds’.

By Editor

Again on this 4-December-2023, the same USA has slapped sanctions against Uganda Prisons Commander Johnson Byabashaija over alleged torture and human rights abuses in Prisons across Uganda.

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...
