This bill will suffer under the tyranny of numbers.....men!!!

This is the height of insecurity, this person does not think they deserve you, suffer from some complex, usually an inferior one. Disease affects both species. other times, the suspectee is usually a suspect or rather guilty o fthe offense committed and thinks everyone is made of his/her flavour of entertaining MWKs.
Such people want to be controlling they want to know what you talked to your mother about, and why you were smiling all the time while talking to your boss on phone, crazy this is, it has happened to me(not a friend of mine), piece of advise, the first time he/she touches your phone, let her/him go. you do not need some controlling freaks insecurity in your life....

No I will not marry you!

Traditionally the union of marriage established rights and obligations between spouses and safeguarded the children of such unions in matters of inheritance and property.

I've read in this post and elsewhere that the proposed bill is sponsored by busy body NGO types who have no clue what marriage entails.

While this may be a fair comment is it not ironic that the same NGOs have been at the forefront of empowering the girl child?

If you are a well educated woman, who is in charge of her sexuality (have access to contraceptives, etc) why would you want to enter into a union with a man at all? The same question can be posed to men, why do you want to get married?

In hindsight, given some of the proposals in this bill, some people like Caroline Mutoko are starting to look like the proverbial giraffe that sees far.

Wanawake watakuwa wanatembea na voice recorder in case of a marriage proposal, wanaume nasi turakuwa tunatumia sign language just in case!!

"An MP has vowed to shoot down the proposed Marriage Bill saying it is oppressive to men.
Maara MP Kareke Mbiuki said the requirement that men seek written consent from their spouses is demeaning and goes against African culture.

According to the MP, the Bill may may trap men in oppressive relationships if a woman declines to append her signature in case of a divorce.
“We love our wives very much but as Africans, the proposed scenario cannot work. We don’t want to be forced to sign papers when we want a second wife.""
