Pre marital sex in Uganda, legal for now.

The Observer Uganda observes

Death of the virgin bride? Men now need to test the waters

Keila Nalulele is as saved as humanly possible. She fasts, tithes and never misses a church activity.
But when it comes to issues of sex before marriage, her advice to her daughters is anything but godly.

“Which man is going to marry you if you do not give him a taste of what you have to offer?” she asks. “Gone are the days when a man would marry you without ‘tasting.’ ”

Not quite what I expected. However I guess it is progress.

In a highly sexed world, traditional and religious norms are fast being cast aside in order to live up to the sexy demands. Marriage and its mundane niceties have long lost their novelty. Up to an estimated 80% of couples are in de facto marriages before they actually tie the knot. Many of these marriage-like unions have borne children. And the prized virginity cookie is but a myth being held onto by hopeful romantics.

I can't object to this commentary but it is bloody hilarious from a country that is planing to pass laws jailing for life gay members of their community. I am guessing that the Ugandan parliament upon reading this will immediately outlaw pre marital sex on the grounds of consistency. 

“Men have come to live with the fact that because of the high levels of sexual awareness and exploration, they just cannot find virgins,” says Eric Mugarura, a single man in his 20s. “I value virginity but I know I cannot find it.”

I feel your pain Eric. Really.

Mugarura adds that today, the best a man can wish for is a girl who has not been around the block too much - preferably one who is less experienced than he is. “We [men] like to feel like we are in control,” he explains.

I wonder how many time you can go around the block before you have been around it to often. There needs to be some sort of empirical measure in place. Does it matter if the block is a really big one ? 

The virgin bride complete with a white untouched veil is but a dead symbol flaunted by almost every bride without even thinking. But who cares? It seems that for both men and women, the essence of the race is to get as many conquests as possible.

I assume conqests are achieved by going around the block.

And yes, you might be quick to protest, believing that women are not up to conquests. But the statistics indicate otherwise, with more and more women habouring no qualms about having numerous sexual partners in their lifetime.

While for men it is about the quantity of partners (man, how many girls have you floored?), for women it is about the quality (who is the richest most famous man you have been with)? And so goes the story of the endangered no-sex-before marriage rule.

Interesting that the definition of quality for woman is not a sexual one but a financial one. That is probably closer to the truth than the author intended it to be.

Cohabitating

But while there are people who will eat from the cookie jar until kingdom come but still preserve the actual moving in until the relationship is formalised, many others have skipped the formalities and live together for several years. It is possible that the majority are in this kind of relationship.

" eat from the cookie jar " look it isn't all that difficult say having a good hard shag is it ?

“Cohabitation should be recognised as a form of marriage,” says Asaf Asiimwe, a lawyer.

Asiimwe echoes the stand of women rights activists who contributed to having a provision recognising cohabiting couples as married set out in the two-decade shelved Marriage and Divorce Bill.

Actually not sure I agree with this at all. It makes a lot of sense if children are involved but in there absence why ?

Cohabiting couples are also a high HIV risk group, but they do not enjoy the same social protection and welfare improvement efforts enjoyed by their married counterparts who are equally at risk.

What ? Why ?

Thus to those who are pro-marriage by cohabitation like Asiimwe, it is only fair that those cohabiting benefit equally - they are in more or less the same position as married people. Our neighbours in Kenya have recently embraced this stand and now cohabiting for six months is all it takes to be recognised as a married couple.

Aside from risks without benefits, research also shows that couples who cohabit before marriage are more likely to get divorced. This, psychologists say, stems from the fact that most cohabiting couples get married as a fix to their already-existing problems.

The marriage then amplifies rather than solves their issues. This juxtaposes with the euphoria of newlyweds that makes a spouse’s faults more bearable.

I assume more bearable short term.

Why taste?

But why would a person choose the uncertain waters of cohabitating to the excitement of a proper wedding and getting to know each other, growing in life together…? Speaking about the numerous clients who come to him after being caught in the web of cohabitation, Asiimwe says:

“There are too many requirements [for marriage]. There is the introduction- which I think is utterly useless.  A couple has to pay church fees of over Shs 300,000. And then there is the fact that marriage is supposed to be until death; this drives away many people. The law relating to marriage is very funny and unreasonable.”

Exactly the law is a load of shit. A law should treat all as equals and therefor gays should be allowed to marry in Uganda. Every one has the right to a mother in law.

Religion and cohabitating

The church and mosque are the major custodians of the institution of marriage and they join couples on behalf of the state. Yet through high fees and bureaucracy, they are seemingly driving more and more couples into marriage taste drives that never seem to amount to actual purchases.

The no-sex-before-marriage rule is one of those most breached laws of Allah, says Yaaqub Abu Sayyaf, a sheikh and community leader. He adds that the rule is not just breached by believers but by the religious leaders themselves.

Just get out of peoples bedrooms.

Harriet Nabuduwa, a Christian counsellor, acknowledges that it is hard for religious views on piety and sexual purity to compete with the numerous sexually saturated messages that bombard young people’s minds every day.

Yet, religious leaders are unanimous that the solution to sex before marriage is not opening the gates of marriage to all and sundry, but rather to people who are truly ready. For them, marriage remains sacred and there must remain some “limitations” as to who may join in.

“I taste because I can”

“Really, around Kampala, everyone is cohabiting,” observes Asiimwe.

While some cohabit with the intention of getting married someday, for others cohabitation is an end in itself. Joel Kurika has been cohabiting with his girlfriend for six years.

“I and my woman do not wish to get married. We are happy the way we are. Why fix what is not broken?”

For the Kurikas of this world, religious dogma and the threat of burning in eternal fire does not count for much.

“It is good to know that she stays with me because she wants to, not because she has to,” he says.

Well Joel and his partner seem to have sorted out their screwing.

Respect lost in incredulous decision

The recent decision by the Manager of Investigations Harry Hawthorn on behalf of Maritime NZ to not prosecute the master involved in a serious harm collision, sends a very confusing message to the maritime and leisure marine industry in New Zealand.

The incident occurred during Auckland’s Anniversary day regatta involving the yacht Gypsy who had just started in the carded classic yachts event off Princes Wharf, when it was T-boned and sunk by the vessel Antaeus under power. Conditions on the day were light airs, in which the yachts including the 34ft (10.26m) Gypsy, were only just wisping along with minimal steerage and definitely no power with which to get out of the way of their own shadow had they even tried, never mind a bloody great 18m (60ft) yacht motoring with clear sticks at what some onlookers suggest near on 10knots.

The devastating result was the loss of a 1939 Logan designed classic and the near loss of crew person Jill Hetherington who suffered a fractured pelvis and serious head injuries that may have resulted death had it not been for the quick actions of the Gypsy’s skipper John Pryor, who rolled Jill over into the rescue position while supporting her limp form in the water.

The decision to not investigate was made by a Maritime NZ duty investigator, confirmed by the senior investigator in charge, as not being serious enough to warrant an investigation.

This decision was later contested by the commercial industry who identified some huge discrepancies in Maritime NZ standards. Had this involved a commercial vessel, irrespective of the serious harm nature of the event, you can bet Maritime NZ investigators would have been over the commercial skipper like a rash. Not so…

But, the decision by Maritime NZ to belatedly open an investigation was seen to be fair and reasonable. Meanwhile, the Harbourmaster took the easy way out and issued a $200 infringement to the skipper of the Antaeus, Mr Charles St Clair Brown, for breach of the local Harbourmasters bylaws. This then raised the question of potential double jeopardy to which our lawyers suggest, No! They likened it to when you might get a speeding ticket for driving the getaway car at speed under the road transport laws and then be charged for a serious offence under the Crimes Act.

In the letter sent to the skipper of the Gypsy, Maritime NZ advised that they did not propose to take any additional enforcement action. They admonished him for not taking action to avoid a collision in accordance to Rule 22… Hello! What part of wisping along trying to maintain steerage, versus a vessel under power at enough speed to cut a yacht damn near in half: power gives way to sail, don’t they understand?

Needless to say John’s reaction was one of astonishment, while the still recovering Jill was in disbelief, confused and asking how can this be? “This is just incredulous”, she said.

Meanwhile, waterfront scuttlebutt is less than kind suggesting that Charles St Clair Brown has fingers in high places. I for one would not like to argue that such influence could be true, even when the evidence is starting to suggest otherwise. With numerous recent examples of incidents resulting in prosecutions, had Maritime NZ placed this case before the courts to decide, the maritime industry and New Zealand would have at least seen due process in action and maintained a professional respect for the regulator.

I respect the General Manager of Investigations Harry Hawthorn, when he took time out of his busy schedule to discuss changes in policy affecting his decision on this case. Harry advised that based on the interviews with the two operators involved and an eyewitness he had decided not to prosecute. When questioned on the decision, the result of which sends a clear message condoning bad behaviour on the water, Harry said no. “No, we are saying from our investigation, there is nothing to suggest that either operator was deliberately trying not to comply with the rules”.

“What about operating a vessel at speed in a busy waterway with undue care and attention and failing to maintain a proper lookout resulting in a near fatal collision”, I asked. “We have no evidence that this was the case” he said.

The decision was based on their new compliance approach of information, education and assistance to comply with enforcement. “It’s a whole new approach to Maritime NZ’s compliance strategy and enforcement” he advised, and was somewhat astounded that we did not know anything about this. Well bugger me days, I know I can be a bit cloth eared at times, but this was all new to me and to most of the maritime industry, might I suggest.

Sadly, it would appear that Maritime NZ has lost the plot, or maybe it’s the result of losing most of its maritime institutional knowledge with only one person in investigations having a scant background in fishing. The end result clearly exposes a level of public incompetence never before seen in this organisation. Who are these people to come up with new compliance strategies or change the rules of investigations without consulting the maritime industry, which it impacts upon most?

Have they stepped outside of their charter? Maybe the time has come when as the regulator, it is time to hand over its role of accident investigations to an external agency, or given that most of the current crop of investigators including Harry are ex-police, then should it be the New Zealand Police who are tasked with this responsibility? At least the maritime industry would know where it stands.

Finally, the link below makes for interesting reading and just reinforces my comments.

New Zealand Greens want Africa to starve

NZ Herald reports 

" A major conference bringing together the world's biggest players in genetic modification opened to the angry chants of protesters yesterday.

The week-long international agricultural biotechnology conference is being described by those on both sides of the genetic modification debate as a significant event for GM - but for opposing reasons.

Organisers hoped the Rotorua conference would foster collaboration and provide more answers on how GM could assist in feeding a world population expected to double by 2050."

If we have the ability to feed the world and don't then we are less than human.

" But GM opponents see it as an opportunity for corporations to push profit-driven agendas using what they claim to be unsafe and outdated technology.

Speakers include Ceres chief scientific officer Dr Richard Flavell, who was among the first in the world to successfully clone a plant gene, Professor Robert Reiter of global biotech giant Monsanto, and United States international biotech trade envoy Jack Bobo.

A group of protesters, holding placards reading "stop poisoning our children" and "you are not welcome", chanted from the car park as delegates arrived at the Rotorua Energy Event Centre."

Remember these are the people who demanded that the world move into biofuels. Let's see how that worked out.  

World Bank figures  

" TUCSON, Ariz., March 28, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- U.S. and European policy to increase production of ethanol and other biofuels to displace fossil fuels is supposed to help human health by reducing "global warming." Instead it has added to the global burden of death and disease. " 

So the Greens advocated and still do a policy that is killing kids in the third world

" Increased production of biofuels increases the price of food worldwide by diverting crops and cropland from feeding people to feeding motor vehicles. Higher food prices, in turn, condemn more people to chronic hunger and "absolute poverty" (defined as income less than $1.25 per day). But hunger and poverty are leading causes of premature death and excess disease worldwide. Therefore, higher biofuel production would increase death and disease."

The real price of food is measured not in dollars but in deaths middle class white morality hand wringing has no place in this debate.

" Research by the World Bank indicates that the increase in biofuels production over 2004 levels would push more than 35 million additional people into absolute poverty in 2010 in developing countries. Using statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Indur Goklany estimates that this would lead to at least 192,000 excess deaths per year, plus disease resulting in the loss of 6.7 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) per year. These exceed the estimated annual toll of 141,000 deaths and 5.4 million lost DALYs that the World Health Organization attributes to global warming. Thus, developed world policies intended to mitigate global warming probably have increased death and disease in developing countries rather than reducing them. Goklany also notes that death and disease from poverty are a fact, whereas death and disease from global warming are hypothetical."

Never let the facts get in the way though. I suspect the green agenda applauds these deaths as a way of reducing the human global footprint.

" Thus, the biofuel remedy for global warming may be worse than the disease it purports to alleviate.

Goklany was associated with the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) off and on over a 20-year period as an author, expert reviewer, and U.S. delegate. His analysis is published in the spring 2011 issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (www.jpands.org/vol16no1/goklany.pdf), the official journal of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS).

AAPS is a national organization of physicians in all specialties, founded in 1943 to protect the practice of private medicine and the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship (www.aapsonline.org).

So while they chant "stop poisoning our children"  what they mean is kill African children so we can feel good in New Zealand. 

South Africa returns to the 18th. century

An excellent opinion piece from the LA Times

"KWAMPUNGOSE, South Africa — As a child, Nike Dlamini grew up under a rule: If anything happened in the family or the village, you went straight to the head man. Quarrels, problems, births, deaths: All had to be reported. In some cases — a child born out of wedlock — there was a fine to be paid.

When Dlamini was 11, her older brother made sexual advances, forcing her to undress and stroking her. Dlamini and her sisters went to the head man, the village representative of the traditional king, or chief, for help.

He brushed it off as a family affair, she said. Male relatives took her brother's side, and Dlamini fled to avoid what she feared would inevitably be rape.

After two decades away, Dlamini, 32, came home last year to this village in the eastern province of KwaZulu-Natal. She approached the head man asking for land to build a house with her savings where she could raise her two children.

"He said he's not allowed to allocate land to a woman," she said. "It must be a male relative."

South Africa seems to be deliberately heading backwards rather than embracing the future

South Africa's system of traditional rulers and tribal courts endures, and the ruling African National Congress moved recently to widen the reach of that system. The Tribal Courts Bill would subject 20 million rural South Africans to courts ruled by traditional chiefs, in a move critics say creates one law for urban people and another for those in tribal areas.

The bill would deny South Africans in tribal areas their present right to opt out of traditional courts in favor of government courts. Although serious criminal offenses would still be heard in conventional courts, some assaults, including cases of domestic violence, could be heard in tribal courts.

This is a very bad move.

"The tribal courts remain patriarchal institutions. Women complain that when they try to bring their cases to councils comprised of men — and old men at that — they don't get a very sympathetic hearing, particularly when it comes to family matters," said Sindiso Mnisi Weeks, senior researcher at the Law, Race and Gender Research Unit at the University of Cape Town.

The tribal traditions and institutions sit uneasily alongside a liberal constitution outlawing discrimination on the basis of sex, race, religion or sexual preference.

Nursing grievances against arbitrary chiefs and traditional courts that treat them as second-class citizens, women have emerged with horror stories: chiefs who refuse grieving widows the right to appear in conventional courts when their land and houses are stolen; who collect arbitrary taxes or impose harsh fines; who punish them by refusing to let them bury their dead."

Why in the 21st. century would you want to revert to a system suited to the 18th. century

" Talking about her experiences 21 years later, Dlamini stood in the doorway of her unfinished house, which she hasn't the money to complete. Tears threatened, but she brushed them away, engulfed by memories.

Suddenly she crashed, face first, to the concrete floor of the round thatched hut in a faint. After a minute, she regained consciousness. She said she had been suppressing so much grief and anger that she feared she would explode.

Her older child returned from school, folded his uniform reverently and took a bowl of samp (coarse cornmeal) and beans from a pot on the stove. Dlamini has managed to put a roof over their heads, but she's afraid they'll be turned out one day, because the land isn't hers.

Although the South African Constitution guarantees equal rights to all, the head man forced her to put the land in her cousin's name, even though she paid the $190 fee to the chief for the land. But she frets that the cousin will change his mind, or that his family will take the land if he dies."

It would be interesting to know if she can go to a court to get her constitutional property rights enforced

"I'm very worried about it," she said. "I'm thinking about my children in particular, because they might come and grab the land and my children will be homeless."

When Dlamini returned to her village, unmarried but with two children, the head man also demanded a $50 fine to be paid to the chief for the children born out of wedlock.

"Where am I going to get this money when I don't even have money for food?" she said.

The head man sounds like a total prick.

" The fines for out-of-wedlock births are traditionally intended to "cleanse" the chiefs, but the men also often impose levies to pay for their sons' educations, a new car or other expenses, said activist Sizani Ngubane of the Rural Women's Movement. She said that with most rural people unemployed, families were sometimes forced to use welfare payments, the $31 monthly child support grant paid by the government, for the fines and levies, which are illegal.

Chiefs keep a register of the unpaid levies. Those who can't pay get punished, sooner or later. A chief can paralyze an unruly subject simply by denying the "proof of address" letter that rural villagers need to get an ID or passport, open a bank account, receive welfare payments and access government services. But retribution can be more sinister."

The world has changed and South Africa must change as well.  Gender apartheid is as immoral as racial apartheid.

Lets Kill Children for God

From The Guardian

" An 11-year-old Christian Pakistani girl could face the death penalty under the country's notorious blasphemy laws, after she was accused by her neighbours of deliberately burning sacred Islamic texts.

Rifta Masih was arrested on Thursday, after complaints against her prompted angry demonstrations. Asif Ali Zardari, the president, has ordered the interior ministry to investigate the case.

As communal tensions continued to rise, about 900 Christians living on the outskirts of Islamabad have been ordered to leave a neighbourhood where they have lived for almost two decades."

It is interesting that Muslims demand we tolerate their religion but if you expect me to tolerate the stoning to death of an 11 year old girl you are joking.  

" On Sunday, houses on the backstreets of Mehrabadi, an area 20 minutes' drive from western embassies and government ministries, were locked with padlocks, their occupants having fled to already overcrowded Christian slums in and around the capital.

One of the senior members of the dominant Muslim community told the Christians to remove all their belongings from their houses by 1 September. "I don't think anyone will dare go back after this," said one Christian, Arif Masih. "The area is not safe for us now."

A few brave souls have stayed behind, but shopkeepers have refused to serve their Christian neighbours or supply them with water. Locals say only about 10% of families in the area are Christian, renting cramped houses from Muslim landlords. They tend to do dirty, menial jobs such as sewer maintenance."

So in effect Christians are second class citizens.

" Relations between the communities had been simmering for months after complaints were made about the noise coming from three churches in the area during religious services. Two of the landlords who owned the buildings had already ordered an end to worship and some services were forcibly broken up.

But there was no indication that all the Christians would be forced out so suddenly until Rifta was accused of the provocative act of burning the sacred words of Islam.

It sparked immediate demonstrations by crowds estimated at between 600 and 1,000 people, some of whom blocked the nearby Kashmir highway, the major road running west out of the capital.

The police, initially unwilling to take action, eventually charged the girl with blasphemy and took her into custody. The rest of the community, including her parents, fled."

Police  behaving appallingly isn't new as we know from the USA.

" As with many other aspects of the incident, there is disagreement about exactly what was burned. Some say it was a small pocket book of Qur'anic verses. Others claim it was pages of the Qur'an. Either it was a relatively small quantity of ash carried in an earthenware dish, or it was around half a kilogram of refuse that filled a small plastic shopping bag.

Hammad Malik, a 23-year-old with a shaven head and bushy beard who is deemed a "scoundrel" by the Christian community, said he saw Rifta walking out of the tiny, single-room dwelling where she lived with her parents and sister at some time after 6pm. He said it was pure chance that he noticed her bundle.

"I looked at it but did not know exactly what it was but I could see it had words written in Arabic," he said."

So in fact no evidence what so ever

" He concedes that no one actually saw her burning anything as the offence allegedly happened inside the house, and she was caught while finding somewhere to throw away the remains. However, the local mullah claims there was a witness: another young girl who caught her in the act and then ran to the mosque to raise the alarm.

One thing the Muslim community does agree on is that claims in the local media, sourced to the police, that the girl has Down's syndrome are false.

"She is a completely normal girl," said Kamran Khan, cousin of the Masih family's landlord. As the largely male and grownup crowd gathered outside the house, a girl who said she knew Rifta said she did behave oddly – she talked to herself and walked in a peculiar way.

The other point of general agreement is that "the law should be followed". Unfortunately, the law in question is Packistan's blasphemy law, which has a proven track record of ensnaring people on the flimsiest of evidence and being cynically used to intimidate communities or settle quarrels over money and property."

Yes laws that allow you to kill children should be followed ? Well Hitler did it. 

Even though no one has yet been executed for blasphemy in Pakistan, long prison terms are common – one Christian couple was sentenced to 25 years in 2010 after being accused of touching the Qur'an with unwashed hands.

There have also been cases of people killed by lynch mobs demanding instant punishment. Daring to criticise the law is incredibly risky and few do it.

In 2011, Salman Taseer, the former governor of Punjab province, was gunned down by his own bodyguard after he spoke out against the case of Aasia Bibi, another Christian woman accused of blasphemy.

" The Christian community of Mehrabadi says the whole thing is a plot. They too have conflicting accounts of what happened. In one version, according to priest Boota Masih, a Muslim neighbour asked the girl to throw out the ash into which the desecrated pages had been placed.

I so like tolerance.

Either way, one hotly contested incident involving a very young girl looks set to change the complexion of the neighbourhood for ever.

"They have done this to provoke the Muslims, like they have with their noisy banging and singing from their churches," said a local mullah, who would not give his name. "We are not upset the Christians have left and we will be pleased if they don't come back."

So a little girl is accused of burning a  religious text with no evidence what so ever  to provoke Muslims.
