The Uganda joint Christian council UJCC warned parliament not to pass the marriage and Divorce bill 2009 in its current form.
This is contained in the letter written to the speaker of parliament on 10th May 2011 by UJCC and signed by the Executive secretary Rev. Fr. Sylvester Arinaitwe.
He said that the title of the bill is wrong and cannot give the due prominence to the institution of the family and the churches also objected to the clause in the bill which legalizes cohabitation.
The churches request to parliament over the bill worked some how because parliament in its last sitting did not handle it and the Attorney General Kiddu Makubiya asked more time to consult over the bill.
The woman mps after the Attorney General told parliament that he is not ready with passing of the marriage and divorce they were heard saying no no no and the house handled company bill 2009.
