@reimerodha: Before buying land or a house, first find out whether the vendor is married. You may end up buying matrimonial property without the consent of the spouse. In Uganda, a spouse’s consent is very important when selling family property. Without it, the transaction can be challenged in court and the buyer may suffer huge losses. Do not rush because the deal looks good. Carry out due diligence first. A simple inquiry today can save you from years of legal battles tomorrow.
