Makella is a member of Mwoyo Gwe Church. The choir leader Anateo had been single for a long time because he was waiting for a sign from God. A month ago, Makella led worship, and Anateo’s eyes ‘opened’. He finally saw Makella as the beautiful girl that she is. Anyway, Anateo even went to the church leaders and said he had a ‘vision’ about marrying Makella as his wife. He registered both their names for an April wedding and marriage counselling classes last week. The marriage banns were read in church. Makella is in shock because Anateo never spoke to her or even proposed. Can Makella be forced to marry Anateo?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

In law, consent is one of the most important requirements for a valid marriage. Consent is when one person voluntarily agrees to something.

So for a marriage to be valid, both parties should consent (agree) to the marriage. If a person is forced to get married through force, threats, manipulation or fraud, then we can say that consent was obtained illegally. Such a marriage can be annulled(cancelled) by the court if the person brings it up.

To put it simply, Makella cannot be forced to marry Anateo. Her choice as an individual is to decide who and when she marries. If she decides she does not want to marry Anateo, then she cannot be made to marry Anateo.
