dc.description.abstract | This dissertation discusses a point in
law which is not the only one that has been abused
due to imposition of new laws embodying different
norms and customs in Kenya. It is intended to serve
as an example of the many conflicts of laws and
practice which are happening in Kenya. Why 1 chose
this particular topic, 'Conversion of Customary
Marriages into Statutory Marriages', is because 1
believe the family is the miniature form of the
society. Anything that disturbs the equilibrium of
the family therefore dusturbs the society as a whole.
The African Christian Marriage and Divorce Act Cap.
151 goes to the very core of the African Society in
Kenya. It tries to lay down terms on the way Africans
who contract their marriages under it will conduct
their marriages. It is therefore important to see
why such an Act was passed and how far it has been
successful. If it has failed we should also know
the reasons which have led to this failure. | |
