CUSTOMARY MARRIAGES AND STATUTORY (CIVIL) MARRIAGE.
BY LARRY HORE NJUNGU
1.0 INTRODUCTION:
Marriage has basically been defined as a voluntary union for life of one man and one woman to the exclusion of others.[1] This definition is a good starting point towards the appreciation of any marriage, even though it is inadequate[2].
