Government To Publish Names Of Married Men To Protect Single Women And Limit Cheating

Tanzanian Government is considering publishing the names of married men in the country in a bit to limit cheating among couples and protect young women from what it described as “unnecessary heartbreaks.”

Dar es Salaam regional commissioner, Paul Makonda, who disclosed this on Monday, August 12, said the provincial top administration is mulling over the idea of identities of married men being published on a website run by a state agency.

According to the Makonda, the move will also stop deceitful married men from sexually preying on unsuspecting single women. He said:

“I have received a lot of complaints from young women. Many women from Dar es Salaam region have been deceived many times, and they have had enough,” said Makonda.

“Men have been promising to marry them, then later, they [men] ditch the ladies and this is something that is humiliating,” he added.

Makonda noted the proposal was based on the constitutional laws using a clause that protects women who were promised marriages only to be used and dumped.

“These cunning men have left many women nursing heartbreaks and emotional bruises. You’ll find a young man successfully wooing a woman, making her leave every other thing that she does, hoping that the man will marry her, not knowing that he is, indeed, conning her,” he said.

“I cannot say I am a leader, when the people I look after are hurting. If you look at the laws that we have in the country, there is a clause that protects women, who were promised marriages, only to be used and dumped. We want to use that clause to bring sanity in relationships.”

The proposal if adopted, will require all married people to register their marital statuses with the region’s database agency. The information will reportedly be accessed by citizens of the country.

Any woman who has been promised marriage can then access the database and find out whether the man who has promised to marry them is someone’s husbands or not.

In that database, all the marriages, including Christian, customary, Muslim, those filed at the registrar of marriages, will be registered.

“One of the ideas that we have is to have all the married people register their marital statuses with the region’s database agency. This will help young women promised marriages. It would be easy for them to access the database and find out whether the men who have promised to marry them are people’s husbands or not. In that database, all the marriages, including Christian, customary, Muslim, those filed at the registrar of marriages, will be registered.

“We want to reduce the cases of men conning women in the name of love and marriages. We are planning to meet the State agency in charge of the citizens’ database. Once that meeting is done, you, who lied to a woman that you will marry her, but ended up using and dumping her, be prepared, we are coming for you” he said.
