The recommendation of the committee regarding divorce, aimed to encourage reconciliation and

the sanctity of marriage; by recommending that.


First, the reasons for divorce should never be out listed because there comes a time as a
committee observer that, there circumstance in which married couple reach the end of their
tether, and wish to terminate their marriage relationship without quarrel
Secondly, after husband and wife reaches at stage to divorce then the petition of divorce shall be
petitioned to the judge of the high court, who will appoint a divorce committee of which he will
be the chairperson. The proceeding should be not in an open court, but the dissolution and
announcement will be in an open court.
After the divorce, the committee also recommends that the legislation should include provision
for reversion at the divorce committee and an appeal by way of petition to the chief justice, and
both reversion and appeal shall not deal with dissolution of marriage but only those matters
which a incidental to it.
Although in general the controversy of this recommendation is the fact that there is no reason or
appeal in matter of dissolution of marriage, i.e. the decision of the divorce committee is
conclusive and final (a question of administrative law). In addition, the committee observed the
issues relating to international law.
INHERITANCE
There should be single law to govern succession as it was suggested in the law marriage ,the
rationale for this is that which different laws governing succession, some citizen rights can be
affected by draconian clan customs and religion laws, therefore as a single law will ensure equal

treatment to citizens for example in Buganda succession customs does not show who the
successor should be in case when the deceased dies intestate but only distributed according to
what seems right and proper in circumstances.
Another unique characteristics of the existence of Buganda legal system, according to Buganda
Courts Ordinance the principal court is excluded from the jurisdiction to the deal with matter
affecting clans and therefore the court or principal court cannot entertain disputes as to whether
the deceased transferred or sold property to individual prior to death but the plaintiffs are not
barred from raising claims in the court of law.
But unfortunately the committee did not address the matter of administration of estate
(Appointment of administrator) but recommendation no.261 shows that there is a possibility that
the committee used the word executor to include both administrator and executor but this cannot
be further proved.
