Voidable marriage (1) A marriage is voidable where one of the parties to the marriage(a) is unable to consummate the marriage within six months of celebration of marriage; (b) willfully refuses to consummate the marriage within a period of three months from the time of celebration of the marriage; or (c) conceals a material fact which would otherwise vitiate the other party’s consent to the marriage; (2) The aggrieved party may, at his or her option, apply to a competent court on any of the grounds in subsection (l), to nullify the marriage” (Marriage Bill, 2024).
The recent laws that have been read and been tabled at the Parliament is main focused on the sex-life of the citizens. The Members of Parliament are willing to Police the fornication and the bed-rotation of citizens of the Republic. This is a continuation of the Anti-Homosexuality Act. Therefore, this is the main perspective of the MPs and what they deem fit or most important use of their time.
We have the bill tabled Sara Achieng Opendi, which is the Marriage Bill of 2024. Which I have shown one really bad article of, and I cannot understand the need of this being in law. Unless the state needs to know that the married couples are doing it. That’s how you can interpret it.
In coordination with this… at the same time, Anna Andeke Ebaju MP has tabled the Sexual Offences Bill of 2024. That is furthering the cause too and wants to make the oldest profession illegal. Which is stopping one part of society and will make it more underground. This sort of thing will always exist, and people will seek it out. So, this won’t stop the practice, but make it even more dangerous for the people who are working as prostitutes and the ones whose sheltering them at their “workplace”.
Just read this:
“12. Brothels A person who knowingly keeps a house, room or place of any kind for purposes of facilitating the commission of an offence under this Act commits an offence and is liable, on conviction, to imprisonment for seven years. 13. Prohibition of prostitution A person who practices or engages in prostitution commits an offence and is liable, on conviction, to imprisonment for two years. 14. Prohibition of sexual act with a prostitute A person who engages in a sexual act with a prostitute commits an offence and is liable, on conviction, to imprisonment for two years” (The Sexual Offences Bill, 2024).
Yes, prostitution is immoral from some sense of the imagination. At the same time, everything that is immoral shouldn’t necessarily become illegal. Then you’re going down a slippery slope of things that can become prohibited. That’s something that is in need to be discussed and needs further reflection on.
I’m just here to address the matter that sex and sexual acts are regulated like this. Yes, the laws in themselves aren’t all bad. There is just a need to look into it and speak out about it. We know “sex” sells and this shows it. It is populist moves of the MPs and how they show their acts in the 11th Parliament.
One MP is worried that the couples are consummate their relationship after the celebration of marriage. While another MP is worried about people actually paying for the same sort of service. Meanwhile, the same Parliament has made it illegal to have one sort of sexual behaviour. Therefore, this is just continuing the path and policing bed-side behaviour from all aspects of life. That should be discussed before all dirty laundry have to be publicized and follow the articles of law.
We can wonder why they are doing this and creates legislation like this. When there is so many things that needs a fix. There is so many issues within the Republic, which isn’t part of the activities between the sheets. No, there are more troubling issues, but they are not as politicized or as populist as finding punitive measures for what the MPs deems as immoral within the bedframes of the citizens home. Therefore, the MPs wants a say in how you act and with who you act it with. That’s the reality here and how they are becoming the ones that legalize your rights and what you can do in bed.
This is what is happening here… the MPs should ask themselves if they want the state to control and navigate other parts of their lives. As their private parts aren’t that private, when the state must allow them to use them or not. This is the backside to the laws. All sorts of sexual activity are now becoming law. Yes, these laws have reasonable aspects which makes sense, but I am just pointing out the ones that are questionable.
They need to be blasted. Because… the citizens should know what the MPs are doing and where they are willing to go. Peace.
