These are the findings of a new research on marriages that has revealed that the informal but popular route to marriage among young people is turning out fewer matrimonies in the end.

Study reveals that for Nairobi women, marriage is no longer a matter of life and death
What is premarital sex? What is marriage? Is it signing a document to let the government know umeanza kufuga kunguru and you can now become a reproductive member of the nation? Marriage is just a commercial business. If I have a child with you willingly then you are my wife…hiyo ingine ni yako.
I have a problem with official weddings because they are just a cash cow for the “marriage events organisers”. Then you sign a document to basically tie you to someone and enforced by the law such that people are losing their savings na sana sana the guy is the one on the receiving end. That is my problem with it.
