The Marriage Trap: Unveiling the Kigali Proposal

If you break it, you own it. And as many boyfriends have learnt to their chagrin once you get a girl pregnant, you better marry her or you’re dead! Or at least that is what they are warned.  Often it seems that people are tricked into marriage after months or years of dating simply because children born out of wedlock are frowned upon and sometimes even disgraced. Couples are forced to  use marriage as a sort of ‘alibi’. Hence the ‘Kigali Proposal’.If you don’t believe the Kigali Proposal is evident, then why are most healthy babies in Kigali born 4-6 months after the wedding? And we can’t eliminate the fact that there are some couples that go as far as saying that the baby was born premature.
