A recent ruling that emphasizes proof of adultery in order for courts to grant a divorce has stirred a hot debate among Christians and lawyers across the country.
In the Aug. 18 High Court ruling regarding a divorce case filed by a Ugandan man named Zedekia Karokora against his wife, Kellen Karokora, Justice John Eudes Keitirima noted that without proof of adultery, the court would not grant a divorce — even if the petitioner had provided proof against the respondent on the other grounds for divorce in the country’s Divorce Act.
