Women be very careful who you marry, lest you end up with the likes of quicksand!! Do the women you are dating a favor, and print out what you just wrote, atleast that way she knows what she's getting into. For once I agree with Mukiri, just unapologetically get married to your material possessions, that way nobody gets hurt, the world would surely be a better place...

I support this and I am unapologetic about it. If there is anything that turns my blood cold its the thought of being turned out to the street after a split in middle age, with your house and investments which you have worked so hard for during your youth handed to your ex-wife. I am not hitched currently, and have a few coins here and there - earned by back breaking effort, blood and sweat; parliament is right to say that whoever I marry keeps hers paws of the stuff I acquired prior- or even those I acquired after out of my own resourcefulness and capital if she didn't put in hard and countable currency.
Hakuna kucheka na watu. Men are bad but so are women. The pragmatist in me tells me that when I marry, there is also a probability of the union failing. What follows from that is cold, hard logic - and the logic is a man can't afford to build his life from scratch over again if he splits from his wife. Some of a man's assets need to be untouchable (for those who are about to tell me about love and its all conquering ways and my own flawed attitude, save your breath - people cant be fully trusted, and that is only constant worth trusting completely these days)
Read European papers. Men over there get cleaned out by gold-digging and scheming wives, especially Britain, where family courts usually strip guys bare leaving them destitute and depressed.
I have no qualms about property that was co-acquired (both names on the deed) being split up. But stuff registered in just one person's name should be theirs. It is up to women to be alert and ensure that their spouses do not con them. When they hand over money to the husband, they should demand to be cosignors in the business/property arrangement. Away with this silly ambiguity that 'husbands make wealth because women are making a stable home' Will it be a marriage or a business agreement?  Some men should (unapologetically) be married to their property. Does the bill consider her invaluable contributions, when she cuts short her sleep to make you breakfast, hustles with the kids(punishes her body to get your kids in the first place), cleans your house, comforts you in grief, encourages you, sh@gs you when not in the mood etc Id happily give my property to my wife and start from scratch. All these material things are straws. Shackles that bind us. And when we die we leave them papa hapa. I respect your view @Mukiri, and it is a valid one. Consider this, if a woman does all the things you have mentioned for a man, then he would be stupid to end the marriage with her, cheat on her. Granted, men break good marriages all the time and it is not fair to women. But interestingly, some immoral women are duping men, pretending at first to be ideal partners during courtship then turning into the devil before the ink is dry on the certificate. All those nice attributes you have mentioned disappear into thin air as the naive man is left with a whoring, drunk-as-a-sailor, spendthrift of a wife. I wear no goggles, I see them at work, they willingly provide easy amusement for boys both single and married who are just out to have some fun. On occassion they make the moves first. It is scary out there. I have seen irate husbands show up at pubs at 3 to drag their drunken wives out. Married but available. It is as real as the air you breathe. I guess men are getting their comeuppance. We rarely see men as victims because men shut up and suffer in silence. In these days though, women are increasingly hurting men. The days of meek housewives are over. Women are getting more educated than men, earn more than men, and do not wait on you as if you are the shah of persia when you are at home. You may choose to live your life trusting, not seeing or hearing. I choose to have my eyes fully open.

Am glad parliament put some sanity into this bill.This maneno of splitting wealth half-way is total BS. If i love my wife even after the marriage I will very freely give her half and continue to look after my children.BUT when the law stipulates it then some cheeky young ladies who want to prey on men will take advantage of this.What I worked for is mine, what we acquired together is ours! As for the argument of taking care of the home and children, please, as if men also don't pay bills and educate the children. That whole argument doesn't hold any water!! Before I die - i will touch the sky!!

It is also said that some people are so poor, all they have is money. #tafakarihayo @ pastor mukiri My experience is, for a family to be cohesive money plays at least 90% role. The chorus about love and money have long been overtaken by materialistic generation. By the way why are you pastors very busy fleecing the congregation if you do not love money???? On a light note why would a wife be scared of this bill if she is in genuine relationship with the husband??? What I am very sure of is if a wife does not leta mdomo mrefu and kichwa kubwa to the husband, the husband will give all they have to her. Period. Hii mambo ingine ati kulea watoto, kupikia bwana, kuoshea bwana nguo are unnecessary sympathy-drawing side shows.
