Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Entebbe Chief Magistrate\u2019s Court has summoned Pastor Aloysious Bujjingo of House of Prayer Ministries International to answer to charges of allegedly getting into a second marriage illegally.<\/p>\n

Pastor Bujjingo is accused of having a customary marriage with his new lover, Ms Suzan Makula Nantaba, yet he is still married to his first wife, Ms Teddy Naluswa Bujjingo.<\/p>\n

Presiding Grade One Magistrate Stella Okwang Pacular on Wednesday set January 21 for Pastor Bujjingo and his new lover to appear for plea taking.<\/p>\n

According to the court documents filed on December 8, Pr Bujjingo faces charges of contracting marriage by customary law when he is already married under the Marriage Act.<\/p>\n

He faces up to five years imprisonment if convicted.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Hassan Male Mabirizi privately instituted the criminal charges.<\/p>\n

Ms Okwang\u2019s decision was based on a confirmed letter by, Mr Joseph Amoit, the chairperson of Bwerenga Village, where the alleged second marriage took place.<\/p>\n

Mr Amoit states that on December 6, he saw many cars and lorries carrying gifts, among other items, for the function.<\/p>\n

He adds that neighbours told him that Pastor Bujjingo was to be introduced at Mr Thembo Nyombi\u2019s home the following day.<\/p>\n

Offences<\/p>\n

The particulars of the offence state that Pastor Bujjingo on December 7 at Kawuku, Katabi Town Council, Wakiso District, contracted marriage under the Marriage Act with Teddy Naluswa Bujjingo, and during the continuance of that marriage, contracted a marriage in accordance with customary law with Suzan Makula Nantaba.<\/p>\n

Ms Makula has also been charged, and faces the offence of marriage with a person previously married.<\/p>\n

Section 42 of the Marriage Act, which forbids marriage with a person previously married states: \u201cAny person who, being unmarried, goes through the ceremony of marriage with a person whom he or she knows to be married to another person, commits an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Likewise, Section 50 forbids contracting marriage by customary law when already married under the Act.<\/p>\n
