Conjugal rights used to ‘punish’ spouses
Posted Friday, November 28 2008 at 22:41
In Summary
- New form of abuse replaces physical violence as couples refuse to share a bed
There is also a campaign to enact the Marriage Bill which would prohibit men from asking for dowry back when a marriage fails, thus preventing legally married women from leaving for lack of refund.

muthinja1, this has nothing to do with dowry. paying dowry is not a legal but a moral obligation towards parents in law in appreciation for their dota so we can not make laws on it. The police lack the skill to handle cases of domestic violence thats why parties opt for mediation thru the area chief and headman. We are so behind!

How many men can survive this? Even priests find this ridiculous.S/he who loves you the most hurts you the most.The 'conjugal thing' is the oil of any relationship.Facing the wall won't solve the problem.Woman is for man and man is for woman.Now you are making it,man for wall,woman for wall.Can't happen,won't happen.Flesh will always need the company of flesh.Stop facing the wall.

Why not push for a law that prohibits dowry in the first place? Then the man and woman shall be equal partners, aren't boys brought up same as girls? What does a man pay for in dowry anyway?

Beating of women is one of the most primitive acts and only occur with the human species. Other animal species never fight their female partners and i cannot understand why the most intelligent species is also the most primitive with respect to violence.

Denying your wife or husband sex is just inviting problems in your own marriage. It is simply giving them a license to find a cheap one along K2 street. Then the next thing you know is that HIV is staring strong in your house. Be smart people. This CAN'T work!
