Kenya: Proposed Law Would Ban Gay Marriage

Those wishing to marry partners of the same sex still have to seek countries where such marriages are allowed, before they can tie the knot. Same sex marriages will not be allowed if proposals in the harmonised draft constitution become law. Only marriages between opposite sex will be recognised despite spirited attempts by the gay community to have their relationships legalised. According to the document, every adult will have the right to marry a person of the opposite sex, but this will be based on the "free consent of the parties". It reads: "The parties to the marriage are entitled to equal rights at the time of marriage, during and at the dissolution of their union."
