📸: Unsplash  Opolot always told everyone that he would not look at a woman until he was 40 and a millionaire until he travelled to the UK for studies. This was true until he met Chelsea, a fellow student, and they travelled to a casino and got married. Opolot just returned to Uganda for Christmas and has spent every day with Nandi, his long-time crush. He has been wondering if he is still married or if he can get with Nandi since the wedding ceremony took place in the UK.     WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?  Every country has laws about how people should get married. In Uganda, we have different types of marriages, which means we have different laws that allow for religious, non-religious and traditional marriages.   The marriage laws in Uganda also recognise foreign marriages from other countries, such as the UK, as long as those marriages conform to how marriage is understood in Uganda under Ugandan law. For example, in Uganda, legally, marriage is between a man and a woman (mono

📸: Istock. https://theinformersdotcom.wordpress.com/2023/12/27/how-can-you-stop-being-a-surety-for-someone-else/ Jonna was caught fighting in a bar and the police told him that he was going to be in prison while his case was ongoing. He pleaded with Abby his brother to help him get out of prison. So, the following day when Jonna was brought before a magistrate, he asked to be released and even promised court that his brother Abby would keep him out of trouble. Its been two weeks and Jonna now bullies Abby and tells him not to remind him about court things.     Abby has realized that he cannot advise or look after Jonna and wants to stop being his surety. How can he do it?    WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?   When an accused person is released from prison on condition that he/she returns to court for their hearing, it is called bail. One of the conditions is that this person brings people who can guarantee that he returns to court for their trial and that they ‘stay out of trouble’. These peopl

By #BarefootLawyers. Nakalembe has endured a lot from Johnny, her neighbour. Whenever one of her matooke gets ready for harvesting he comes for it the night before she can harvest it. This time round, she caught him red-handed in her bedroom holding her handbag. He pushed her out of the way and ran away with her bag.   On Friday last week, he was arrested by the Police and Nakalembe was told that he would be in court on Monday morning. So, she was very shocked when she found him playing ‘ludo’ on Monday night. She ran back to the Police, but she was informed that Johnny had received bail. Nakalembe is worried that she has already lost the case and wonders if she will be able to get back her money since Johhny is out on bail.  WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?  When someone is arrested for committing a crime, they are known as a suspect. This is because anyone who is accused of committing a criminal offence is presumed (taken) to be innocent.  The law says that any person who has been accused of a
