Doreen Nyanjura Demands For Cohabiting To Be Recognized As Legal Marriage

The deputy lord mayor of Kampala, Doreen Nyanjura, has come out to advocate for reforms in marriage in Uganda. According to the FDC politician, a 10-20 years relationship can’t be termed as cohabitation.

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.
