VEGETERIAN??? WITH BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS?

The r**e statistics in Kenya is a clear indication of how we are revolving on the common tale of the greedy hyena. Men have slowly become hyena predators on the female prey. We live in a country where women are always blamed for being victims of assault & men are socialized to be sexually adventurous and aggressive as a way to prove their masculinity.
Its time people's attitudes towards sexual violence be given a major refresh.

THE DOCTRINE OF PRESUMPTION OF MARRIAGE.

In Re Estate of Tom Otieno Ngoe (Deceased) 2020.

*Presumption of marriage is a concept that arises from an appreciation of the needs of the realities of life when a man and a woman cohabit for a long period without solemnizing that union, then a presumption of marriage arises.

*Living together, naming children and others are amongst the symbols of marriage. ..if a man and woman order their lives together, cohabit together, and appear as married to the public, the society conceives that situation as a married state. It is a presumption of marriage.

DAUGHTERS TOO CAN INHERIT PROPERTY.

For decades, women have not been getting the inheritance of their fathers’ property based on arguments that they get married thus depend on their husband's property.

The above position is however contrary to the holding of the Court in RONO VS RONO where it was observed that marriage should never be a determinant for locking daughters when it comes to inheritance of property.

According to law daughters to a deceased are dependents as stipulated in the Law of Succession Act section 29 that defines a dependant as the wife or wives, or former wife or wives and the children of the deceased whether or not maintained by the deceased immediately prior to his death.

Further, Article 60 (f) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 provides for the elimination of gender discrimination in respect of land.
Daughters, therefore, have equal rights with the sons with regard to inheriting their fathers’ property and in case of disputes about the same, one can seek redress in a court of law.

The reality of the law as it is now is that the cultural tradition of locking out daughters from inheriting their parents’ property is outlawed.
