The Kenyan constitution

being the supreme law

of the land recognizes

marriage. Article 45 of

the Constitution which falls

under the bill of rights provides

that every adult has a right to

marry a person of the opposite

sex, based on the free consent

of the parties. Also there are

Acts of Parliament that govern

marriages in Kenya and these

Acts includes the following:i. Marriage Act – Cap 150ii. African Christian Marriage

& Divorce Act iii. Matrimonial Causes Act iv. Mohammedan Marriage &

Divorce Registration Act v. Mohammedan Marriage,

Divorce and Succession Act vi. Hindu Marriage & Divorce

Act Suffice to note, there is a

proposed Marriage Bill (2007)

which intends to replace the above Legislation and consoli-date all laws relating to mar-riage into one.

It is important to note that in Kenya the law as it stands provides only for monogamous marriage and polygamy is only allowed if parties contract a marriage under customary law or are married under Islamic Law. In Kenya, marriages are recognized under the follow-ing categories:

Statutory marriages. (Civil • Marriage, African Christian Marriage, Hindu Marriage and Mohammedan Mar-riage.)Customary marriages.• Presumed marriages. •

Civil Marriage: All non Africans must get married under this Act because the African Christian Marriage & Divorce Act, does not apply to non - Africans. For a mar-riage to be valid under this Act, the parties must be adults of opposite sex, must consent, must not be within the prohib-ited degrees of consanguinity (blood relations) and affinity (marriage relations).

The law also requires that parties getting married give a 21 day notice and where the parties are getting married in church the notice should be both in church and at in the Office of the Registrar of Mar-riages. If the Registrar is sat-isfied and no caveat is issued against the notice, he may is-sue a Certificate of Marriage, whereby marriage must take place within 3 months of no-tice. If the marriage does not

take place within 3 months, such notice is void.

For persons getting mar-ried in church, after the notice period of 21 days, a Registrar’s Certificate is issued by the Of-fice of the Registrar of Mar-riages and taken to the Church Minister who shall officiate the ceremony. If the wedding venue is the garden or hotel, a license is required for the venue.

African Christian Marriage: This is marriage by Africans who profess the Christian Faith. This marriage applies only to Africans where-by one or both parties profess the Christian Religion.

Hindu Marriage: This is a marriage conducted by per-sons professing the Hindu Religion. This marriage is rec-ognized and given the force of law through the Hindu Mar-riage & Divorce Act. This Act provides both substantive and procedural law governing this union. Hindu Marriages are strictly monogamous.

The following are the pre-requisites for a marriage to be valid under this Act:

Neither party must be mar-• ried to another person.Parties to a marriage must • be of sound mind.Man must have attained age • of 18 years and the woman 16 years – further if the woman is aged between 16 – 18 years, then consent of her legal guardian is re-quired and parties should not be within the prohibited degrees of consanguinity and affinity which are set out in the Act.

A day with the law

Kenya the law as it stands provides only for monogamous marriage and polygamy

This month on the e-Bride we feature Mr.&Mrs. Kamau. These newlyweds had a classic rock themed wedding. One that was not only spectacular

but also unique. The well detailed wedding was simply breathtaking and one could not help but enjoy the whole ceremony. In an interview with the e-bride this is what they had to say:

e-Bride: Who is Mr. Kamau?Mr. Kamau: (thinks for a minute) OK, OK, let’s see. My name is Francis Kamau. I guess I could describe myself as a graced Christian who’s highly passionate about Family & Music. I’m employed in an ICT Firm doing Systems Support.e-Bride: Mrs. Kamau? Mrs. Kamau: (with a bright smile) I am Catherine Kamau, a born again lady who is gifted in Arts and music. I am the owner and chief designer of Beracah Designs, a Fashion house located in Nairobi,Kenya.e-Bride: When was the wedding? Mrs. Kamau: Our wedding was on 07th Jan 2012 from 8am till 4pm at ICC church in Nairobi West.e-Bride: Shortly tell us a little about the two of you,the proposal, how you met, etc.Mr. Kamau’s Version: We met in Cam-pus. I was studying Computer Science whilst my princess was pursuing a de-gree in Media….apart from me of course (smiles and looks at Mrs.Kamau)!! I first

noticed her in an ICL [I Choose Life] seminar in which she was part of the or-ganizing team. We hit it off quite fast as there was an instantaneous attraction. A few weeks later, she took me down to the Varsity Tennis Court & begged me to go out with her. A request to which I vehemently accepted (turns to Mrs.Ka-mau and their eyes lock. For a minute they get lost in their own world).That marked the start of our adventure. The following years saw God transforming us into who we are today through both painful & pleasant experiences and to-day I tell her that the circumstances we went through together are some of the reasons we are perfect for each other. Mrs. Kamau’s Version: I first met darling, at a concert but didn’t really take much interest then. It’s when we met at the ICL event that the fire sparked. From then on we became close friends from which stemmed an attrac-tion & a relationship later on. Our dating and courtship expedition was without a doubt thrilling with plenty of mistakes that translated to character-molding lessons. We both grew more and more in love with each step and we also got to know each other more.Mr.Kamau: The Proposal was a two-week planned surprise skit by brothers

from a ministry named Holygan. During our usual Saturday afternoon Bible Studies, all the men excused themselves to prepare a skit. Then, two guys approached Ngina and turned around to display placards stuck on their backs written WILL YOU then the third displayed MARRY. Finally I ap-peared with a placard engraved ME!!! I went down on my knee, and went ahead to hand her the engagement ring. She went into shock, took the ring, put it on, and then said YES. Humphrey, the di-rector, started throwing the balloons in the air to create a rain effect, a beautiful idea but alas, all the balloons burst on the floor instead of in the air. All in all, it was a real exciting and joyous family afternoon.e-Bride: Wow, that was quite a ride and fun. Theme of the wedding?

"The fol-lowing

years saw God trans-

forming us into who we

are today through

both pain-ful & pleas-ant experi-

ences..."Mr. Kamau

Mrs. Kamau: The theme encompassed Rock music.e-Bride: Why that theme?Mr. Kamau: Well, Wifey is a Rock music fa-natic. She acquired the outfit idea from a rock video by Addison Road. So, since all I wanted was to see her walk down that aisle and have her by my side for the rest of my life, I agreed to the rock theme. e-Bride: Did you hire a wedding planner? Mrs. Kamau: No we didn’t as we enjoyed do-ing it on our own and it was quite economical to do the planning ourselves.e-Bride: How long did it take to organize the wedding?Mrs. Kamau: Approximately 6 months.e-Bride: Some challenges in organizing the wedding?Mr. Kamau: The prime hurdle involved the dowry process as we stem from different cul-tural backgrounds. I am Kikuyu & Ngina is Kamba We faced misunderstandings between the families but we were able to resolve them amicably. Finances were also a challenge, but we saw faithfulness in the whole planning. Cash that we desired to get earlier on, we ended up receiving in days nearing the wedding day.e-Bride: Valuable lessons from the whole ex-ercise?Mrs. Kamau: Cherish the People in your life

and involve your family and friends; God uti-lizes them to bless you and you to bless them. Other than the planning we have come to learn that weddings and marriage need patience and you also need to seek God and trust Him fully. We both had our faith challenged.Mr. Kamau: Plan for the wedding, Prepare for marriage; don’t wear yourself out planning for the event and end up being grumpy on your wedding day. Hire a wedding planner; let them worry about how the day will be. This leaves you enough time to enjoy the most important day of your life. Other than the wedding day, focus on: ‘Beyond ‘I do’. e-Bride: Given a second chance, would you do anything different? Mr. Kamau; (smiles) Well, I’d have a backup generator next to the cake since the power went off and the guy that was supposed to switch on the backup power was nowhere to be seen.Mrs. Kamau: (thinks for a second)I would be less anxious and worried about whether things will work out or not because when God is in control things always work out. I guess I would trust in God more.e-Bride: Word of advice?Mrs. Kamau: Happiness is intentional. Choose not to worry and believe all will work out well Don’t let ANYTHING lower your moods on your wedding day. It’s easy to be emotionally fatigued by the time your wedding day arrives due to time and thought invested in preparation, so take some time off a week or a few days before the wedding day to relax.Mr. Kamau: Joy is not in things, it’s in us, hence as you seek to have an amazing and memorable wedding, recall to keep romancing each other, and making each other feel ‘Cin-derella’ like. Never prioritize the external over the internal. On the wedding day, be cautious of the traffic while selecting a venue for your photo shoot otherwise you might keep guests waiting long for your return. Alternatively, you can have the photo shoot session as the last ac-tivity of the day as we did after everyone had departed.

Lastly and most importantly, HAVE FUN all through!Dance, scream, shout, laugh, laugh and laugh some more…as they say, Laughter is an instant vacation!!!

Karen: I would like to go for premarital counseling but my fiancee says that there is no need for that. Is it really important to go through the counseling?

Hi Karen,In a way you’re both right!! Not every engaged

couple chooses to go for pre-marital counseling - ei-ther in a religious setting, or with a specialist coun-selor or psychologist. But many do, and there’s evi-dence that premarital counseling results in a much happier and more meaningful marriage.

Men in particular often resist the idea, because they think discussing personal issues with a strang-er will feel weird. But actually, the sessions usually end up being great fun, with both partners finding themselves able to talk happily about the most deli-cate subjects without the slightest embarrassment. That alone often leads to a marriage where the partners are able to be completely free with one an-other and to have a much greater degree of emo-tional intimacy.

Typically, the sessions cover expectations for marriage, avoiding the classic marriage myths, de-veloping long-term plans, ‘must know’ information on topics like finances, children, parenting, gender roles,spiritual beliefs, communication skills, conflict resolution, intimacy and trust.

Pre-marital counseling is very important in some special cases. Like if either are very young and have never been married, or one partner is afraid of commitment, or either or both are bringing children from a previous relationship into the marriage, or when a couple can’t resolve significant issues such as relationships with future parents-in-law, relation-ships with former partners, sexual issues and so on. Things like these are far better resolved before marriage! Specially important cases are where ei-ther have a previous failed marriage and want to

avoid the same problems arising again. Or where either have a history of childhood abuse or domes-tic violence. In these situations, pre-marital coun-seling from an experienced professional can help the couple enormously.Chris.

Alexandria: My fiancée and I are looking to get married sometime next year, however we never talk much about how we are going to finance the wedding, is this okay? As much as we are open and talk about everything we never dwell much on the financial aspect of our relationship. Is it healthy for our relationship?

Hi Alexandria, No it’s not!!! Finances are one of the key areas

that must be discussed BEFORE marriage. Not just the cost of the wedding itself, but every aspect of your financial lives. That’s because there’s some-thing strange about the role of money in marriage: if you start being completely open and honest about it before the wedding, then you’re unlikely to fall out over money afterward, while couples who only start talking about money issues after the wedding, frequently have problems. Either one of them ends up being controlling about money for example, or keeps secrets about it, or the couple never man-ages to come to terms with their different attitudes towards money or their spending habits.

So...Start by arranging to have a conversation about

your current finances. Give each other a couple of days to prepare, so you’ve got all the information at hand. Tell each other every detail about your income, loans, savings, investments and commit-ments. Especially regular payments like rent, ali-mony and money you give your extended family. Show each other your bank statements, credit card statements, loan accounts and so on. And discuss how you usually spend your money. How much on food, clothes, entertainment, school fees and so on. How much you regularly save (or don’t!).

Once you’ve done this for the first time, develop the habit of keeping each other up to date with any changes - to your salary for example. You’ll find it quickly becomes a habit to be completely open with each other - and I can’t tell you how much trouble that will prevent down the road.

Talk too - always - about your hopes and plans for the future. Buying a house, further studies and so on. So neither of you is building up expectations that the other knows nothing about.

Do all that, and whether you go on to be rich or poor, at least you won’t fall out about it!Chris

The wedding industry is constantly changing and with this in mind, many brides are looking to have

a wedding that is not only well organized but also unique. There are hardly any rules when it comes to planning your wed-ding.

From the venue to the food to be eaten, the bride and groom are at liberty to have their wed-ding as they envision it. With a professional wedding planner, coming up with your very own wedding theme should be a walk in the park. The theme concep-tualization is core to a wedding. From the theme, the bride will be able to zero in on the out-fits (her gown design, the bride maid’s clothes, groom’s attire, and the best men clothes), food, venue, and the officiator.

Color is part of the theme, but is NOT the theme. Many people tie the two and the out-come is a common wedding with the difference being in the bride and groom. This is one reason why getting a certified wedding planner is imperative.

A qualified wedding plan-ner should ensure that the cli-ent’s wedding is unique in its elegance, execution, and theme.

There are so many themes

that one can choose from. To begin with, there is the fusion of the modern and traditional wedding. This wedding theme blends the modern wedding and the traditional wedding.

At a glance, one should be able to tell the theme of this kind of wedding from the bride’s gown and the grooms outfit to the bride’s maids and the groom’s men. Other than the clothing the décor in the church or gar-den should reflect the theme. In a wedding the kind of food you provide for your guest is very paramount.

Culture is part of traditions and food is one way to celebrate your culture. The diversity in traditional foods in available in Kenya is amazing! This gives a wide range of food to choose from when planning for food in your wedding. Secondly there are Life-style themed weddings. These weddings are very cre-ative, and intriguing. It would be easier to find two people with

the same finger print than two Life-style themed weddings that are exactly the same. One of a Life-style themed wedding that we attended was by Mr & Mrs. Kamau.

The wedding theme was rock. From the décor to the songs played in the wedding, the theme was prominent. Mrs. Kamau, a fashion designer by profession had personally made her own gown and all the bride’s maids’ dresses. The detail in her gown was spectacular and a work of beauty. Her make up to her knee high boots with the short sexy dress took the day. Mr. Ka-mau was dressed in casual-rock star outfit with kickers that gave the outfit a complete look. The décor was well detailed to the little guitars, drums, and rock band dummies on the aisle.

With the current change in the wedding trends, one would be well advised to seek a special-ist's opinion before deciding on the theme for the wedding.

The wedding designer will be able to walk with the couple on the wedding theme and of-fer insights on how to make the wedding unique. As you plan your wedding, ensure that you get to have a wedding of your choice.

Losing weight has never been a walk in the park for most people. The uncount-able numbers of diet plans

available in the market today are enough to drown an elephant. With this in mind the fraudsters are having a ball preying on the innocent people who are try-ing to lose weight and get that breathtaking body size of their dreams. Many have tried sev-eral plans but the disappoint-ments in some of the plans are heartbreaking. Getting the diet plan that will work for you may take some time if you do not know where to look.

As much as one is looking to have that killer body size to fit in their wedding dress, it will not be helpful if you kill yourself whilst doing so. It is not rocket science that how One feels about their physical appearance plays a big role in their self esteem, confidence, and personality it I also obvious that the bride or groom needs to be alive for the wedding to take place. Be-ing comfortable in ones skin is

probably the greatest and most desired character in an individ-ual. Having excess fat in areas like the tummy, arm, or thigh can be frustrating and depress-ing. Many people go to extreme ends to get rid of the excessive fat in their body.

The eating disorders that come with weight issues are in-creasing at an alarming rate. As the number fast food joints go up so does the number of peo-ple who are fighting with self es-

teem issues due to their weight.For others who look for

the quick way to get the kind of body they desire and have brought upon themselves more health complications. Some of the things one should take into consideration when it comes to body shape or size are:

The extreme fat burner’s supplements are more often than not a waste of money. There is nothing that beats the natural way of burning fat which is through work outs.

The repetitive cardio exer-cising routines get boring and are not really the best way to lose that belly fat one should make an effort of making the cardio exercise fun and not re-petitive.

Contrary to many people's believe, crunches, sit-ups, and abs machines are not the most effective way to get the desired six packs.

The so called 'health foods' are just a clever disguise of the junk food that add on to the fat on the belly to you and the manufactures who make lots of millions out of the unsuspecting consumers who buy them.

The Ab belts, ab-rockers, ab-loungers or any other info-mercial products that promise the consumer that six pack is a not only a waste of time but also wastes of money.

Easy come, easy go is one principle that greatly applies in the loss of weight. Some of the things that would be helpful when it comes to attaining the desired body size are:

Work out intensely in the gym to train your muscles and pay attention to multi-joint ex-ercise.

Eat at least after every 3 hours. The small snacking in between meals means that you will not eat much during meal time.

Cut down on the carbohy-drates intake during the day and at dinner time. The
