About marital rape the bill is clear it states that it will only be accepted to be rape if one spouse was forced into sex during separation not during normal relationship so I support this piece of legislation because it does not give women the right to deny sex to their husbands without proper reasons as is the case in other countries such as RSA,now I suggest some of you who did not understand this part to go back and re read the bill I know it’s very long but don’t be too lazy when it comes to reading some… Read more »

Who can be a witness to marital rape. Now commercial sex workers will make money from men who will now be denied sex in their family. already we have these town educated women denying sex to their men because they claim they are tired or pursuing studies and can not have sex yet they are busy being fucked elsewhere. Men and women will now stay like brothers for fear of breaking the law on marital rape. Kamba ladies game is yours as you will experience a surge in clients soliciting sex

So basically they forbid marriage and promoting whoredom (sex outside of marriage). Our woman was created to be a wife and then a mother not a whore. And the truth be told all these young girls are having sex and it is the same politician who forbid marriage soliciting them for sex and making our young girls to be whores.

The truth be told this is a evil scheme by the muzungu to generate money… Read more »

According to the laws of the creator of heaven and earth whose Name is YAH when a woman reach her menstrual cycle she is considered a woman. When he created man in the beginning he say that man was alone so YAH created the woman to be a companion and a helper and for this cause a man must leave his mother and cleave to his wife. And he gave them a command to be fruitful and multiply.

Wat about women which were caught cheating? Do they deserve properties from the husband? I thought they will hv properties from the cheating guy. It will make women to remain faithful to their husband otherwise they are cheating deliberately knowing that they will hv something

I have problems with two issues here. One, why is the Bill pinning down the one that is being sued as the one to pay maintenance money to the other in case of divorce? Suppose the court finds that the one who sued is actually at fault? This can easily be abused by opportunistic spouses as it is assuming that the one who takes the matter to court is always innocent, which is not the case in real life. The second one is the last crime, for which one should pay K100,000. It looks as if it was drafted by… Read more »

If what Mr Kenani has stated is in the Act then it’s a confused Act and needs refining before it becomes law otherwise it’s going to create more problems than it’s going to solve
