Opposition MP Semesa Karavaki today asked the Minister for Women Children and Poverty Alleviation Mere Vuniwaqa to consider putting in place policies for people to get counseling before they get married.
Karavaki says many marriages in the country take place without any counseling.
He says currently there is no requirement for people to get counseling before they get married.
Karavaki says counseling will act as a strategy towards the elimination of violence against women.
In her response, Vuniwaqa stressed that government cannot do this alone and they rely on stakeholders like religious organizations to carry this out.
