But of late, Nalumansi is looking pale, ‘mbu’ the Kameeza money is not coming as it used to, and she thinks the ‘official wife’ may be the cause of her problems. Nalumansi wants to take matters to the law and wants the court to force ‘sugar zazzy’ to continue giving her kameeza money or officially ‘divorce’ her with some payment. WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? “Kameeza” money (what in law we call maintenance/ money or support given by one spouse to another) is not a legal requirement unless couples are separating, divorcing, or have agreed to it.
