Inside Atheist President’s Proposal To Have Kenyans Marry On 2-Year Contracts
On Tuesday, Harrison Mumia, the president of the Atheists in Kenya Society, discussed the organization’s plans to present a proposal advocating for a marriage contract that is renewable every two years.
In a communication, the organization clarified that the agreement will delineate the responsibilities within the marriage for each of the individuals involved.
In the agreement, both partners are obligated to each other for an initial period of two years, after which the contract may be extended, terms modified, or the marriage terminated.
“The Atheists In Kenya Society is of the view that it’s time to rethink the ‘until death do us part,” read part of the statement.
As per the organization, individuals participating in the marriage are tasked with outlining their objectives and anticipations within a renewable marriage agreement to foster a contented partnership.
Furthermore, the contractual agreement ensures that couples can avoid the arduous and costly divorce processes that often result in psychological distress for those involved.

In 2023, the president of the association urged President William Ruto to consider implementing a one-child policy as a solution to the increasing unemployment rates in the country.
He highlighted that a significant portion of Kenyan individuals came into the world outside the confines of matrimony. Mumia clarified that adopting the one-child policy could serve as a preventive measure against this phenomenon.
Mumia stated that the additional funds could be utilized by the government to stimulate the economy and allocate them towards various developmental initiatives.
“Too many births in Kenya is one reason why we are experiencing economic hardships and cultural backwardness. The population should be controlled to combat poverty in Kenya,” he remarked.
Additional suggestions for simplifying the process of getting married involve a legislative proposal put forward by Francis Masara, the Member of Parliament for Suna West, known as the Marriage (Amendment) Bill of 2023.
The legislation aims to expedite the divorce process, minimizing costs for those involved by advocating for mutual agreement as the basis for ending a marriage.
