@adv.witness: Kwa mujibu wa Sheria ya Ndoa ya mwaka 1971, chini ya vifungu vya 69, 70 na 71, sheria inatambua ahadi ya ndoa pamoja na mali au matumizi yaliyofanywa kwa matarajio ya ndoa kufungwa. Aidha, madai ya uvunjifu wa ahadi ya ndoa yanapaswa kufunguliwa ndani ya mwaka mmoja tangu uvunjifu huo ulipotokea. Katika kesi ya Anna Mgamba v Mathayo Msigwa [2022] TZHC 10229, Mathayo alidai kuwa alitumia fedha kujenga nyumba baada ya kupewa ahadi ya ndoa. Ndoa haikufungwa, na mahakama iliridhika kuwa matumizi hayo yalifanywa kwa matarajio ya ndoa iliyotarajiwa kufungwa. Rufani ya Anna Mgamba ilitupiliwa mbali. Ahadi ya ndoa si lazima iwe ya maandishi. Mahakama inaweza kuangalia mazingira na mwenendo wa wahusika ili kubaini ukweli wa jambo. // Under Sections 69, 70 and 71 of the Law of Marriage Act, 1971, the law recognizes promises to marry and property or expenses incurred in contemplation of marriage. The law also requires an action for breach of promise to marry to be brought within one year from the date of the breach. In Anna Mgamba v Mathayo Msigwa [2022] TZHC 10229, Mathayo claimed that he spent money constructing a house after being promised marriage. The marriage never took place, and the Court was satisfied that the expenditure had been incurred in contemplation of the intended marriage. Anna Mgamba’s appeal was dismissed. A promise to marry does not necessarily have to be in writing. The Court may consider the conduct of the parties and surrounding circumstances in determining whether such a promise existed. #SheriaImerahisishwa #LawMadeEasy #AquilaAttorneys #AdvWitness #SheriaYaNdoa
