It’s very wrong and according to her, something needs to change as per the marriage stipulations in the country.
“We must push for legal reforms. How do you call a ‘marriage’ of 10 or 20 years cohabitation, It is wrong,” said Nyanjura.
For starters, Nyanjura has always expressed controversial opinions about the marriage institution and gender roles. She’s one of those people who strongly speaks against the traditional and conservative way of life. Over time she’s also landed into heated arguments with her followers over such opinions.
“How can courts prove that a couple has been together for 20 years if not married? Is it based on the age of the eldest child?” One user questioned her.
“Say that you don’t know what is marriage without saying you don’t know what is marriage.” Another of her users questioned to which she responded that “Of course, I have a brain that functions, I reason beyond what I was taught in sch & what the law says. Those that defined marriage errored, they are human beings.”
It is factual that lots of couples are in relationships without legal certification of their ‘marriages.’ And in case of disagreements, leading to separation, there is always difficulty in equal separation benefits.
However, some argued that making her cohabitation legal would somehow minimize the significance of legal marriages.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
