NIRA to cancel thousands of church marriage licences

According to NIRA, licensed churches are required to submit copies of all marriage entries to the registrar-general within 10 days after the end of each month. “Failure to comply with this legal requirement constitutes a violation of the law,” Kisembo said.

In March this year, the Government said they would introduce incentives for those who marry in order to encourage young people to embrace the institution of marriage and ensure their well-being.
