A women lawyers’ lobby has said it plans to appeal against the judgement that dismissed its application for equal division of matrimonial property upon divorce.
The Federation of Women Lawyers (Fida), which had made the application to repeal Section 45(3) of the Marriage Act that decrees that wealth is shared out based on a partner’s contribution, said it would challenge yesterday’s ruling by High Court Judge John Mativo upholding the Matrimonial Property Act.
