Religious congregations should learn from Pastor Mutesi Josephine as far as civil marriage is concerned, because through the church she leads, she convinces the flock that they need to be legally married couples.

I witnessed a colorful ceremony, where twenty three couples who had been illegally married underwent civil marriage procedures.

According to Pastor Mutesi Josephine of GEHOVANIS Church, most family problems come from illegal marriages; hence the clergy as a whole has an obligation of explaining the importance of civil marriage for the betterment of both children and the married.
