A Ugandan Member of Parliament has tabled a Bill that may invalidate a marriage if newly wedded couples do not consummate within six months.
The Marriage Bill 2024 tabled by TororoDistrict Women MP Sarah Opendi will give newly-weds a six-month ultimatum tohave sex, failure to which their union will be declared null and void.
In the 61-page document,the lawmaker defines a voidable marriage as a union where parties are unable toconsummate it within six months after celebrating the marriage.
The MP lists reasons as to why a marriagemay be deemed nullified, among them impotence of one or both spouses at the time ofcontraction, lack of consent of any party, or whether one of the parties failsto fulfil marital obligations among other reasons.
According to the Bill, "an aggrieved partymay petition the court for a declaration that his or her marriage is void."
“A marriage is voidable where one of theparties to the marriage- (a) is unable to consummate the marriage within sixmonths of celebration of marriage; (b) willfully refuses to consummate themarriage within a period of three months from the time of celebration of themarriage; or (c) conceals a material factwhich would otherwise vitiate the other party's consent to the marriage; (2)The aggrieved party at his or her option, apply to a competent court onany of the grounds in subsection (l), to nullify the marriage,” reads a section of the document.
Opendi also proposes timelines for registrationand celebration of marriage unions, with couples given a maximum of 21 days tonotify of the celebration which should not exceed three months after thenotice, against which the union will be declared null and void.
“A marriage shall be celebrated withinthree months, of the lapse of the twenty-one days' notice published by theregistrar of marriage…” adds the document.
“A party to an intended marriage: may uponpayment of a prescribed fee, apply to the registrar of marriage for an extensionof time within which to celebrate marriage. Where the marriage does not takeplace within the period allowed under subsections (l) and (2), any subsequentproceedings of celebration of marriage shall be void, and fresh notice undersection 10 shall be given before the parties can lawfully contract a marriage.”
