Are you married but don’t know so? Shape up and communicate

Last week, the Governor of Dar es Salaam found his way to local and international news for announcing his plans to create and publish a national database for married men. He said that this move will save women from the heartache and pain of entering relationships that lead to nowhere. The governor said that he has been the recipient of numerous complaints from women who have been abandoned by their lovers after marriage proposals, others who have been promised marriage and started paying bills only for men to walk away.

In my view, any women who voluntarily decides to pay a man’s bills just because she has been promised marriage is simply daft and deserves whatever misfortune comes to her. Anyway, back to the governor - he believes that this proposal will beat infidelity and lead to happiness and improved well-being for Tanzania’s women.
