| dc.description.abstract | The research entitled the quest for domestic relations bill was aimed at the following objectives to establish and investigate inadequacies in the methodologies employed in the initial processes of the domestic relation laws reforms, to assess the shortfalls within the advocacy strategy employed from the time the domestic study report was made public in 1998 until the current period,to investigate and establish the possible extraneous factors responsible for the delay of the passing of the DRB such as political, cultural, customary, social - economic factors and religion among others, to suggest possible alternative strategies to achieve the passing of the Domestic Relations Bill. This dissertation examines in detail the so far ill-fated journey of Uganda's ambitious Domestic Relations Bill ("DRB"). Generally, the Bill seeks to improve and harmonise, to some extent, domestic relations between men and women under various marriage and 'quasi-marriage' regimes which subsist in civil, customary and Islamic law. Using several interwoven methodologies, especially the Women's Law, Grounded Theory and Human Rights Approaches, the writer gathers (using a variety of methods) and analyses a vast anay of relevant data from the many parties involved in the birth (in 1994) and progress (or, rather, lack of progress) of the Bill until its lapse before Parliament in 2005. The writer suggests resuscitating and promoting its proposed reforms in diverse ways in the hope that they may eventually become law. | en_US |
