| dc.description.abstract | For a long time, the right to equality before the law in terms of sex, gender, race, among others things has been misconceived by a big population. A case study is the applicability and of administration equality in terms of domiciles most especially in Uganda. The gender stereotypes where women are seen as a weaker sex and they are made to believe that whatever the society thinks of them is true and live by it which is not the case. The researcher looked at how the issue of domicile has been misconceived and misused by both married women and their husbands. Further still, the researcher tried to compare and contrast between municipal laws and common law principles as well as the loopholes and their implementation. The researcher explores the effectiveness and the extent to which domicile law is relevant in Uganda, the barriers/obstacles faced in the implementation action of domicile and ways of eliminating such obstacle. The researcher came out with 46% of married women whose rights have not been attained under the law of domicile, 7% of minors who feel have not been considered in as far as deciding on their domicile in concerned as well as not knowing the essence of domicile law. Only 24% of women have attained their rights under the law of domicile and its intended purpose and 3% of minors who feel its fine even if they are not considered in deciding on their domicile. It is my humble submission that the law of dependent domicile of married women in Uganda be revised to meet the current social trends where women are to have equal and full dignity with men in the dissolution of marriage and in the determination of citizenship. | en_US |
