2. Kwa kufuata sheria za uvunjaji wa sheria mzazi anaweza kuadhibiwa kwa kutoa ruhusa binti yake kuolewa ili hali hajavunja ungo.
3. Kabla binti hajafika umri wa miaka 21 hawezi kuolewa bila idhini ya baba yake au mdhamini wa baba yake.
4. Baada ya kufikia umri wa miaka 21 binti yu huru kuolewa.
5. Ulipaji wa mahari si jambo la lazima katika kuthibitisha ndoa.
6. Malipaji ya mahari ni juu ya bwana arusi mwenyewe ingawaje jamaa zake wanaweza kumsaidia katika kutimiza wajibu wake.
7. Mtu aliye na haki ya kupokea mahari ni baba ya bibi arusi au mrithi wake wa halali bila kujali kama ni mwanamke au mwanamume isipokuwa kama mrithi ni binti ambaye analipiwa mahari.
8. Iwapo kwa kosa mahari yamelipwa kwa mtu ambaye hana haki kupokea, bwana arusi itambidi kulipa tena na kumpa mtu yule ambaye ana haki hiyo ka kama akitaka kuoa binti. Bwana arusi anaweza kumshtiaki yule mdanganyifu ili amrudishie mali yake.
9. Lakini ikiwa mpokeaji wa mahari ni mmoja katika wazazi wa kuumeni wa bibi arusi na ikibainika kwamba yuko ndugu mwingine ambaye ndiye ingelibidi apokee mahari hayo, bwana arusi hawezi kuwa na lawama juu ya kosa hilo na shauri litabidi lijadiliwe kati ya ndugu wanaohusika.
Kima cha Mahari
10. A. Sheria zote zinazoweka mipaka ya kima cha mahari ni lazima zifutwe.
B. Kiasi cha mahari kinachohitajiwa ni lazima kifikiriwe na kifuatwe na uwezo wa bwana arusi.

Malipo ya Desturi pasi ya Mahari
13. Malipo mengine ya kidesturi kuhusikana na arusi ni zawadi ambazo hazirudishwi. Ni vitu vile tu ambavyo lazima virudishwe iwapo mahari yatarudishwa, ndivyo vitakavyohesabiwa kama sehemu ya mahari.
Sheria za Kawaida za Ulipaji wa Mahari
14. Ni juu ya baba ya bibi ya arusi na bwana arusi mwenyewe kuona kwamba mahari yamelipwa mbele ya mashahidi zaidi ya mmoja kutoka kila upande.
15. Wanyama, na/au mali yo yote ilipwayo kwa mahari ni mali ya yule mwenye haki ya kupokea ambaye hawezi kulaumiwa kwa kuzitumia au kuziuza.
16. Mtoto wa wanyama hao anakuwa ni mali ya mwenye haki ya kupokea mahari na hawezi kuhesabiwa kama sehemu ya mahari ambayo yahajalipwa.
17. Iwapo baba atapokea mahari toka kwa wachumba wawili wa binti yake kwa wakati mmoja, anastahili kutozwa faini isiyopungua shilingi 100/-. Baba ya msichana ni lazima arudishe sehemu yote iliyolipwa na mchumba wa kwanza kabla ya kupokea malipo yo yote toka kwa mtu mwingine.
18. Iwapo mwanamke amewekwa kinyumba, ndugu ambaye anastahili kupokea mahari kwa niaba yake, haruhusiwi kufanya mashauri yoyote juu ya kuolewa kwa mwanamke huyo na mtu mwingine, na wala huyo ndugu hana ruhusa kupokea malipo ya kwanza ya mahari mpaka yule mwanamke amehama kutoka katika nyumba ya mpenzi wake. Atakayevunja sheria atastahili kulipa faini isiyopungua shilingi 100/-.
19. Kila moja ya pande mbili zinazohusika na mipango ya arusi, ina haki ya kuvunja mapatano wakati wowote kabla ya arusi kufanyika.
Mahari ilipwayo na Ndugu wa Kuumeni au Kikeni
20. Jamaa inayotokana na mahari ilipwayo na baba, ndugu wa kuumeni au toka kwa bwana arusi mwenyewe huitwa nyumba ya kuumeni. Jamaa inayotokana na mahari iliyolipwa na dngu wa mama wa bwana arusi huitwa nyumba ya kuukeni.
21. Iwapo mjomba anataka na baba bnakubali, basi huyomjomba anaweza kumpa mpwa wake mahari yote au sehemu ya kumsaidia mahari hiyo. Vivyo hivyo, mama anaweza kumsaidia mtoto wake katika ulipaji wa mahari kutokana na vitu alivyorithi kwa baba yake.
22. Watoto kutoka katika hiyo nyumba ya kuukeni hufuata ukoo wa baba yao, lakini kuhusikana na mabinti wakati wanapoolewa ni jambo la kawaida kwa baba ya bibi arusi kutoa sehemu ya mahari na kuwapa nduguze wa kuukeni ambao walimsaidia yeye wakati wa kuoa; lakini hilo si deni linaloweza kufikishwa kwa hakimu.
Mahari ilipwayo baada ya Baba wa Binti kufariki (kama hakuna Hati ya Wosia)

(III) Iwapo katika jamaa hiyo kuna mabinti watupu, basi mama na mlinzi mwenzake ndio wanaopokea mahari.
24. Iwapo bibi arusi ni mtu mzima (mwenye miaka 21 au zaidi) na hana ndugu wa kiume wanaoweza kupokea mahari yake, basi mahari yanaweza kupokelewa na rafiti yeyote wa nyumbani kwao lakini hupokea mahari hiyo kama mdhamini tu, na mwenye mali ni yule mwanamke.
25. Iwapo kuna dada wawili ambao hawana dngu ye yote anayeweza kupokea mahari, basi kila mmoja wao anaweza kupokea mahari ya mwingine.

26. (I) Mahari yote inaweza kulipwa mara moja kabla ya ndoa.
(II) Mahari yanaweza kulipwa kwa sehemu sehemu na kumalizwa kabla ya ndoa.
27. Iwapo bwana arusi akishindwa kulipa mahari yote mara moja, kwa kawaida hupewa muda mfupi tu kumaliza kulipa kabla ya ndoa.
28. Kama mahari ni ng'ombe na kama mnyama mmoja akifa kabla mahari yote hayajamalizwa ni juu ya bwana arusi kutafuta mnyama mwingine, lakini kama mnyama akipotea tu basi hiyo ni hasara ya baba wa binti.
B. Mahari ilipwayo kwa sehemu sehemu kabla na baada ya Ndoa
29. Arusi hufanyika baada ya kulipwa kwa sehemu ya kwanza ya mahari. Si desturi kuweka kima na tarehe za ulipaji baada ya arusi.
30. Kama mume akichelewesha malipo, baba wa binti ana haki ya kudai barazani malipo, baba wa binti ana haki ya kudai barazani malipo ya sehemu zilizobaki. Nis juu ya baraza kufikiri juu ya wakati uliopita tangu malipo ya mwisho na kuangalia hali ya mapato ya mume na halafu kutengeneza mipango ya ulipaji.
31. Iwapo baba atamwita binti yake arudi nyumbani kwa sababu mumewe hajamaliza kulipa sehemu ya mahari, basi baba huyo anavunja sheria na anastahili kutozwa faini isiyopungua shilingi 100/-.
32. Mume na mke wana uhuru wa kuhamia po pote hata kama mahari hayajalipwa yote.
33. Kama mume akifa kabla hajamaliza kulipa mahari yote, ndugu yule aliyekubaliwa na mjane kuishi naye kama mume wake ndiye atakayemaliza kulipa sehemu iliyobaki.

40. Deni la urudishaji wa mahari ni deni lililo muhimu kwa baba mkwe na uvunjaji wa sharti hili waweza kufikishwa mbele ya baraza la wenyeji kama kesi ya madawa.
41. Kama mahari ikiwa na mifugo mume anaweza kudai kwamba wanyama wale wale aliowatoa ndio warudishwe iwapo bado wamo mikononi mwa baba mkwe. Hali kadhalika baba mkwe anaweza kurudisha wanyama wale wale aliopokea, na mume ni lazima awapokee hata kama hali yao imekuwa dhaifu.
42. Iwapo baba mkwe hana hata mnyama mmoja kati ya wale waliolipwa kwa mahari, si lazima kwake kurudisha wanyama wa hali ile ile. Muda ambao mume na mke wameishi pamoja ni lazima ufikiriwe, lakini mume anaweza kukataa kupokea wanyama ambao hawana faida yoyote.
43. Kama mume akikataa kupokea ng'ombe wa mahari ambao ni haki yake, na kama baraza likikata shauri kwamba ukatazi wake si wa haki, basi baraza linaweza kutoa talaka papo hapo.
44. Mume hawezi kudai kwamba mahari aliyolipa irudishwe kwa kutoa vitu vile vile alivyotoa, isipokuwa kama vitu hivyo vimo mikononi mwa baba mke.
45. Watoto wa wanyama waliolipwa kwa mahari, kama wanyama hao walikuwa ng'ombe au mbuzi, wasirudishwe. Vivyo hivyo kama mahari yalilipwa kwa pesa haitawezekana kudai faida ya pesa hizo.

II Nyumba yenye wake waliopalikwa.
A. Mume ni lazima adai mahari kutoka katika nyumba iliyopokea mahari yake.
B. Kama baba mkwe mwenyewe ndiye aliyepokea mahari hiyo wakati akiwa hai ni mrithi wake ndiye mwenye wajibu wa iuyarudisha bila kujali ni nyumba ipi alikotoka yule mke.

50. Kama kiasi kilicopo hakitoshikulipa deni lote, kile kiasi kinachobaki kinakuwa ni deni la muhimu, lakini mke ni lazima apewe talaka yake (tazama kifungu cha 59).

52. Ndoa inapovunjika bila ya kutoka sababu maalum kwa mke au mume:
A. Kama hawakuzaa, maisha ya ndoa tu ndiyo yafikiriwe katika kuweka kiasi cha mahari ambayo itarudishwa.
B. Kama walizaa watoto, wawe wawili wanatoa sababu za kautaka kuachana, basi ni juu ya baraza kufikiri ni yupi aliye na makosa kati ya mke na mume au yupi kati yao ndiye chanzo cha kuvunjika ndoa.
53. Wakati inapotokea kwamba mmoja au wote wawili wanatoa sababu za kutaka kuachana, basi ni juu ya baraza kufikir ni yupi aliye na makosa kati ya mke na mume au yupi kati yao ndiye chanzo cha kuvunjika ndoa.
54. Ni uwezo wa baraza kubadili masharti yaliyomo katika kifungu cha 52 A na B na kufikiria kiasi cha mahari kinacobidi kurudishwa, nayo ni lazima ifuate kosa lenyewe.
55. Baraza linapochungua juu ya shauri hili pia huchungua maisha ya ndoa.
56. Kama mume ndiye mwenye makosa yule mke anapewa talaka mara tu baada ya baraza kukata shauri. Habari ya urudishaji wa mahari hufikiriwa pekee.
57. Kama mume alimtesa mke wake kwa makusudi ya kupata chokochoko ya kuachana, basi baraza linaweza kuamua kwamba sehemu tu au chochote kisilipwe hata kama hawakupata mtoto.
58. Kama mke ndiye mwenye makosa, hawezi kupewa talaka mpaka baba yake amalize kurudisha mahari yote au kama hana vifaa vya kumwezesha kufanya kama alivyoamriwa na baraza mara moja, basi kiasi kinachobaki kinakuwa kama deni la muhimu kwa yule baba.
59. Kama mke mara kwa mara anafanya matendo mabaya ambayo mume yanamuudhi sana, hasa inapokuwa ni namna ya kumuudhi ili aweze kumwacha, baraza litashauri kwamba mahari yote au sehemu tu inabidi kurudishwa, hata kama mke na mume walipata watoto. Kama mume alikuwa hajamaliza kulipa mahari yote, baraza ni lazima lipime na likadirie hesabu ya malipo ya mahari yote kama ilivyokubaliwa na baba mkwe na bwana arusi.
60. Wakati mmojawapo anang'ang'ania kuachana bila ya kutoa sababu yeyote, ni yeye ndiye atakayedhaniwa kuwa mwenye makosa.
61. Upande ule ulio na makosa ndio hauna budi kulipa gharama zote za baraza na gharama ya hati ya Talaka.

B. Daftari la talaka liwekwe katika kila baraza la wenyeji.
C. Mke anafikiriwa ameolewa mpaka apate hati yake ya kuachana. Kabla kesi yake ya kuachana haijamalizika, yeye akingali ameolewa.

Ugoni-Sheria za Kawaida
106. Ugoni wa mke ni sababu kwa talaka.
107. Mume anaweza kudai alipwe fidia kila anapomfumania mke wake, isipokuwa wakati baraza linapoona kwamba mume alikubali mkewe afanye zinaaa ili amfumanie na kuweza kulipwa fidia; katika hali kama hii yule aliyefumaniwa anaweza kusamehewa na baraza.
108. Mashtaka yo yote ya uzinzi au madai ya fidia hayawezi kutiliwa nguvu mpaka uwepo ushahidi wa kutosha kuonyesha kwamba matendo ya uzinifu kati ya mke na mwanamume yametendeka.
109. Ule ulipaji wa fidia haumpi haki yule mwanamume aliyefumaniwa ya kuchukua mtoto aliyezaliwa kama matokeo ya matendo yao.
110. Kama mume anakaa nyumbani, ni yeye tu anayeweza kumfumania mkewe, isipokuwa anapokuwa mgonjwa, anaweza kutuma ye yote amtakaye akafanye hivyo kwa badala yake. Ni yeye tu anayeweza kudai fidia na.au kutoa talaka kwa mke wake.
111. Kama mume hayupo nduguye wa kiume aliye karibu anaweza kumfumania yule mke, na kama mume hana ndugu wa kiume basi yule mtu aliyemchagua kumtunza mkewe kabla ya kuondoka ndiye mwenye mamlaka. Hao wenye mamlaka wanayo haki ya kudai fidia kwa badala ya mume ambaye hayupo.

113. Baraza lina haki ya kukataa kusikiliza mashtaka ya ugoni ambayo bila sababu ye yote yamecheleweshwa na mshtaki baada ya kupata habari kamili juu ya jambo hilo. Kama mume hana habari yo yote juu ya ukweli mpaka anapoipata mara tu kabla au baada ya kuzaliwa mtoto, madai ya fidia hayawezi kufikiriwa kama yamecheleweshwa.
114. Kama mgoni hatambuliki, lakini kama kuna uahkikisho juu ya tendo la uzinzi, mashtaka juu ya kuachana yanaweza kufikishwa barazani.
Kima cha Fidia na Faini
115. A. Mtu anayepatikana na hatia ya ugoni ni lazima alipe faini isiyopungua dhilingi 50/- na alipe fidia kwa mume isiyopungua shilingi 100/-. Kima halisi cha fidia kitawekwa na baraza likifikiria hali ya kesi yenyewe. Mgoni ni lazima kwamza alipe fidia halafu ndipo alipe faini.
B. Mke inambidi alipe faini isiyozidi shilingi 25/- isipokuwa kama ana mali yake mwenyewe na akionekana ana hatia zaidi kuliko mwenzake hapo baraza linaweza kumtoza faini kubwa zaidi.
BAYANA YA UGONI: USHAHIDI WA NAMNA MBILI UNAKUBALIWA KATIKA KESI ZA UGONI
A. Ushahidi ulio wazi
116. Mume au mbadala wake (tazama kifungu 111) ni lazima awe na mashahidi zaidi ya mmoja aili kuhakikisha ugoni wake.
117. Mashahidi lazima kujitambulisha kwa wale walhalifu wakati wakiwakuta.
B. Ushahidi usio dhahiri
118. Lazima baraza liachiwe kufikiri kama habari iletwary mbele yake ni ushahidi wa kutosha kwa uzinzi au kama inahitajiwa kutibitishwa zaidi.
119. Kama taarifa iliyopatikana inaonekana haitoshi kuhakikisha ugoni, basi uthibitisho ni lazima uongezwe. kwa ajili hiyo matendo yote yanayoonyesha ugoni yajumlishwe, kwa mfano:–
Kama vitu vya mgoni vikitolewa.
Kama mke akikiri.
Alama za mapigo maungoni mwa mgoni.
Kama mek akiwa ameambukizwa na magonjwa ya kisonono au kaswende.
120. Uhtibitisho mwingine hautakiwi kama taarifa iliyopatikana haina tafsiri nyingine isipokuwa ile ya ugoni.
121. Kama mke na mume wote wanaugua kisonono au kaswende na kama hakuna uthabiti wa ugoni basi talaka haiwezi kutolewa kwa sababu ya kuambukizwa ugonjwa.
122. Kama ugoni umehakikishwa, mashauri huahirishwa mpaka mwenye kuumia apone (kfingu cha 165).
123. Mtu aliyemuabukiza mke wa mtu ni lazima alipe gharama zote zinazotokana na matatibu ya ugonjwa-mbali fidia na faini ya ugoni.
Ugoni wakati Mume ameondoka kwa muda mrefu
124. Kama mume akirudi baada ya kuondoka kwa muda mrefu na akamkuta mke wake anakaa kinyumba na mtu mwingine, anaweza kudai kuachana na pia anaweza kudai fidia ya ugoni bila ya kuhitaji uhakikisho zaidi.
125. Kama mume akirudi na kumkuta mke wake kabeba mimba au amezaa mtoto ambaye hawezi kuwa wake kwa sababu ya kutokuwako kwake, njia nyingi anaweza kuzifuata:
A. Anaweza kudai fidia ya ugoni, akakataa kumpokea mtoto yule kama wake na kumsamehe mke wake; kwa hiyo yule mtoto anakuwa ni wa ujombani.
B. Anaweza kudai fidia ya ugoni, kumkubali mtoto kuwa wake na kumsamehe mke wake.
C. Anaweza kudai fidia ya ugoni akamwacha mke wake. Yule mtoto wa mgoni anakuwa ni wa ujombani.
126. Mume akirudi hana budi kukata shauri mara moja juu ya mimba au juu ya mtoto yule wa mke wake. Ikiwa mume baada ya kurudi hakati shauri na anazidi kuendelea na maisha yake ya ndoa kama desturi, inafahamika kwamba amemsamehe mke wake na amekubali ubaba.
127. Kama wakati mume anaporudi, anapata ushahidi kwamba mke wake amefanya zinaaa, au alikaa na matu mwingine wakati yeye alipokuwa hayupo, laini yule mke akavunja urafiki kabla mume wake kurudi, basi yule mume hawezi kudai fidia ila anaweza kudai kuachana.
128. Kama muem akirudi na kupata habari kwamba mke wake alifia katika nyumba ya hawara yake, mume anaweza kudai arudishiwe mahari yote aliyolipa kwa kufuata kifungu cha 52. Katika hali kama hii yule hawara atalipa fidia na faini kama zilivyoelezwa katika kifungu cha 115.
Ugoni Utokeao kwa kutojali hali ya Mwanamke
129. Ni wajibu wa mwanamume kupata hakika kwamba mwanamke anayetembea naye au anayemuoa hana mume. Usemi wo wote wa mwanamke hata kama akiutoa mbele ya mashahidi hauwezi kuwa ngao kama mwanamume akishtakiwa kwa ugoni.
130. Kama mambo yaliyvo yakionyesha kwamba mwanamume ameshindwa kwa haki kutambua ukweli basi hawezi kushitakiwa kwa ugoni.
Kwa mfano:
Ikifika habari nyumbani kwamba mume amefia mahali mbali na kwao na ndugu zake wakafanya matanga kama kawaida. Mjane akiolewa na mume mwingine ambaye katoa mahari. Baadaye yule mume wa kwanza akitokea, basi ule uvumi wa kifo chake ulikuwa si wa kweli. Na kama hakuna ye yote kati ya waume hawa wawili aliye tayari kwa hiari yake kumwacha yule mwanamke, basi mke ataulizwa ni yupi anayempenda kuishi naye. Yule asiyechaguliwa hurudishiwa mahari yake, na kama alizaa nae, mtoto mmoja au zaidi, anaweza kuwachukua. Baraza linaweza kukata shauri kama sehemu ya mahari isirudishwe na ipokelewe na baba wa mke kwa malezi ya mtoto au watoto.
131. Kama mwanamume akitambua kwamba kimada wake ni mke wa mtu mwingine, ni lazima afarakane naye mara moja. Kama akiendelea kukaa naye ingawa akienda kutoa habari kwa jumbe, basi atakuwa na hatia ya kulipa fidia kama atakutwa na mume wake akiishi na yule bibi.
132. Kama mtu aliyeshikwa na mume katika matendo ya uzinifu akiweza kuhakikisha kwamba yule mwanamke ni malaya, basi mume hawezi kudai fidia, bali anaweza kumtaliki yule mwanamke.
Kuasi
133. Kuasi kwa mke ni sababu inayoweza kuleta kuachana.
134. Mume ana haki ya kudai kuachana na kutaka kutengenezwa mashauri ya mahari kwa mintarafu ya kifungu cha 54, kama anajua mahali gani mkewe anapokaa, au kama anaweza kuhakikisha kwa bayana au kwa dalili kwamba mkewe ameasi.
135. Haifikiriwi kuwa ni uasi kama mke akimwacha mume wake na akaenda kwa jamaa yao.
136. Kama mke akienda kwa jamaa kwanza, na baada ya kukaa huko kwa muda mfupi akahama na akienda kwingine tu, mume wake anaweza kumshitaki mkewe bila ya yeye kulazimika kutoa maelezo juu ya mahali alipo.
137. Mtu ye yote anayemficha mke wa mtu na kukana kwamba hayumo nyumbani mwake wakati mumewe anapofika kumtafuta, ni lazima ampashe habari jumbe juu ya kuweko kwa bibi yule. Kama asipofanya hivyo anastahili kutozwa faini isiyozidi shilingi 50/-.
138. Hitilafu yake ni ndugu ambaye hawezi kutozwa faini kwa sababu anaweza kuona huruma juu ya ndugu yake na kutaka kumponya iwapo akiona makusudio ya mume ni mabaya.
139. A. Si ndugu wala si mtu ye yote aweza kulaumiwa au kuadhibiwa kwa kumkaribisha mwanamke nyumbani au kwa ktomwarifu mumewe (ikiwa anamjua) juu ya kuwasili kwa mke wake.
B. Kama mtu anataka kujiepusha na hatari ya kutiwa katika kesi ya ugoni, basi ni lazima ampeleke mwanamke kwa jumbe au wa chini yake.
140. Haifikiriwi kwamba ni wajibu katika sheria kwa mume kutafuta mke wake aliyemuasi.
141. Mume ambaye mke wake alimuasi na akarejea baadaye, hawezi kudai fidia. kama akisikia kwamba mkewe alizini wakati alipokuwa hayuko kwake, anaweza kudai kuachana naye kama hataki kumpokea tena.
Kutoroshwa
142. Kama mtu akimshawishi mke wa mtu, amwache mume wake na atoroke naye, mume anaweza kudai talaka.
143. Kama hao wawili walikutwa mahala pengine wawe wanaishi nyumba moja au mbali mbali, hakuna haja ya kuhakikisha kwamba wamezini, kwani zinaa inafikiriwa kuwa imehakikishwa.
144. Mwanamume na mwanamke waadhibiwe kama ilivyoelezwa katika kifungu cha 115A na B. Zaidi ya hivyo mwanamume ni lazima alipe faini isiyopungua Shilingi 50/- na mwanamke ni lazima alipe faini isiyopungua Shilingi 25/-.
145. Ukweli kwamba mke alimfuata hawara yake kwa hiari yake hauwafanyi wote wawili kutokuwamo hatiani.
146. Mtu ye yote anayewakaribisha mwanamke na mwanamume ambao anajua kuwa wametoroshana anastahili kutozwa faini isyo chini ya Shilingi 50/-.
147. Kama mke ametoroka na bwana, lakini haisi naye wakati mume wake anapomuona, bwana anayeishi naye ni lazima alipe ugoni. Kama mke haishi na bwana ye yote, basi yeye aliyemtorosha ndiye anayestahili kulipa ugoni.
Kukataa kumfuata mume
148. Kama mke alikataa kufuatana na mumewe ambaye anakusudia kuhamia mahala pengine katika wilaya au nje ya wilaya yao, mume ana haki ya kudai kuachana na hukumu juu mahari ni juu ya baraza.
149. Kama kuna watoto baba yao anaweza kuwachukua na kuenda nao hata kama hajamaliza kulipa mahari yote.
Madhara kutokana na mke
150. Kama mwanamke akimpiga au kumuumiza mumewe, basi ni juu ya baraza kuamua kama tendo hilo ni sababu ya kuachana au kukataa. Kama bibi ana mali yake mwenyewe baraza linaweza kutoza malipo ya fidia, kwa kadri kama ilivyoonyesha katika kifungu cha 167A-C.
Dharau
151. Kutoangalia kazi ya nyumbani siku zote, mambo ya kuabisha, utovu wa haya au tabia ya ulevi kwa mke hukubaliwa kuwa ni sabau ya kuachana.
152. A. Kama ikihakikishwa kwamba mke amekunywa dawa ya kutoa mimba na akafanikiwa, mume ana haki ya kudai kuachana.
B. Kama ikiwezekana kuhakikishwa kwamba mke amekunywa dawa na mganga, awe mwanamke au mwanamume, mganga anastahili kutozwa faini isiyopungua Shilingi 200/- ama kufungwa hivyo ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha jinai.
C. Kama mke anashindwa kuzaa hii sio sababu ya kuachana.
Ukatazi wa haki za mume na mkewe
153. Kama mke akikataa kulala na mumewe mara kwa mara pasi na sababu yo yote inayohusikana na mwili wake, basi hali hiyo ni sababu ya kuachana.
154. ganga ambaye alimuagua, au kumpa dawa za uchawi mke alikwenda kwa mganga kupata dawa za uchawi bila ya ruhusa ya mume wake, basi bwana anaweza kudai kuachana.
155. Mganga ambaye alimuagua, au kumpa dawa za uchawi mke wa mtu bila idhini ya mumewe anastahili kutozwa faini isiyopungua Shilingi 100/-.
Utasa wa mke
156. Utasa wa mke hauwezi kuwa sabau ya kuachana.
B. Mashtaka yaletwayo na mke-Ugoni
157. A. Kwa kawaida za mila ugoni wa mume haufikiriwi sababu ya kuachana, lakini baraza linaweza kukata shauri ya kutoa talaka kwa sababu ya uzito wa kesi yenyewe.
B. Mume akizini na binti yake au binti yake wa kambo ni sababu za kuachana.
158. BAraza linaweza kuamuru kutokana na zinaa ya maharimu kwamba watoto wapewe ndugu wa mume kuwatunza. Kama hakuna ndugu wa mume basi ndugu wa mke anaweza kuteuliwa awe mtunzaji.
159. Kwa hali yo yote ya manma hii watoto wanaendelea kushika kikao chao kwa kufuata masharti yanaohusu kawaida za kuumeni.
Kuasi
160. A. Kama mume akiondoka nyumbani kwa muda zaidi ya mwaka mmoja na nusu mke wake anaweza kudai talaka. Sharti hili vile vile linahusu hata kama mume amekuwa akitoa matumizi na utunzaji wa mkewe au kama mume alimwacha mkewe katika uangalizi wa ndugu yake.
B. Mume ambaye anakwenda fanya kazi nje ya Tanganyika kwa muda unaozidi mwaka mmoja na nusu na hawezi kuenda na mkewe, basi ni lazima afanye mipango maalum na mkewe kabla hajaondoka ili yule mke asiweze kutoa maombi kuhusiana na kifungu cha 160A.
161. Kama mahala alipo mume panajulikana basi ni lazima aarifiwe na baraza kwamba mkewe atapewa talaka kama yeye hataki kurudi mapema.
162. Kama baraza likiamua kuwa sehemu ya mahari iridushwe basi atapewa ndugu wa mume ambaye vile vile atawachukua watoto wa msafiri.
Madhara kutokana na mume
163. Mabaraza yanafikiria madhara mabaya tu kuwa sababu ya kuachana. Madhara yafuatayo yanafikiriwa kuwa makubwa na kuleta kuachana na kuhusu kima cha mahari ambayo itarudishwa (tazama kifungu cha 54).
Kwa mfano:
Jeraha lolote liletwalo na kitu chenye makali, kuvunjika, kutia ulema wa daima, kuharibu sura kwa daima, kutenda maovu kwa kuendelea.

SECOND SCHEDULE
SHERIA ZA URITHI
(1) Urithi hufuata upande wa ukoo wa kiume.
(2) Asimamiaye mazishi ni kaka wa marehemu aliye mkubwa au, kama hakuna kaka ndugu mwingine wa kiume ailiye karibu.
(3) Ikiwa marehemu alikuwa mtoto, msimamizi ni babaye au mlinzi wake.
(4) Matumizi ya mazishi na matanga hutoka katika mali ya marehemu, lakini ikiwa marehemu hakuacha mali, hushughulika msimamizi.
(5) Msimamizi wa kugawanya urithini kaka wa marehemu aliye mkubwa, au babaye, na kama kaka au baba hakuna, ni ndugu wa kiume mwingine akisaidiwa na baraza la ukoo. Kama hakuna ndugu wa kiume, asimamie ndugu wa kike.
(6) Baada ya matanga watu wa ukoo hukusanyika na wanahesabu urithi na kushauriana juu ya madai na madeni yote aliyokuwa nayo marehemu.
(7) Wenye kudai huitwa na hutaja madai yao.
(8) Wadeni wa marehemu hutangaziwa vile vile na utaratibu wa kulipa hutengenezwa.
(9) Baada ya hesabu madeni na madai, mpango wa kugawanya urithi unakubaliwa.
(10) Ikiwa mdai ye yote hataji madai yake akiwepo katika mkutano, madai yake hayapokelewi baadaye.
(11) Ikiwa mali ya urithi haitoshi kulipa madeni yote ya marehemu, madeni ya muhimu hulipwa kwanza na madeni mengine yanalipwa kwa sehemu kadiri iwezekanavyo.
(12) Baki ya madeni humalizwa na warithi toka mali yao wenyewe.
(13) Madai na madeni ya marehemu hurithiwa.
(14) Baada ya mpango kutengenezwa, mali ya urithi kwa kawaida hugawanyiwa upesi.
(15) Kama hakuna matatizo, mgawanyo wa mali unafanyiwa katika siku chache baada ya matanga na kwa vyo vyote muda hauzidi mwezi mmoja.
(16) Kama mrithi mmoja anataka kuchukua sehemu yake, mgawanyo hufanyiwa mara.
(17) Kama warithi wote hawana haraka hakuna lazima ya kugawanya upesi.
(18) Ikiwa wadai wengine hawakuwepo au hawakupata habari wakati wa matanga, watamdai mrithi wa kwanza, na ikiwa urithi umekwisha gawanyiwa, mrithi wa kwanza atasaidiwa kuwalipa na warithi wenzake kadiri ya sehemu ya urithi waliyopata.
(19) Mrithi wa kwanza wa marehemu ni mtoto wa kiume wa kwanza toka nyumba ya kwanza. kama marehemu hakuacha mtoto wa kiume katika nyumba ya kwanza, mtoto wake wa kiume aliyezaliwa kwanza toka nyumba yoyote atakuwa mrithi wa kwanza.
(20) Wanawake wanaweza kurithi, isipokuwa ardhi ya ukoo, ambayo wanaweza kuitumia bila kuiuza wakati wa uhai wao. Lakini, kama hakuna wanamume wa ukoo ule, wanamke anaweza kurithi ardhi hii kabisa.
(21) Urithi una vyeo vitatu: cheo cha kwanza, cheo cha pili na cheo cha tatu.
(22) Mwenye cheo cha kwanza ni mrithi wa kwanza na yeye anapata sehemu iliyo kubwa ya urithi kupita sehemu yo yote ya warithi wenzake.
(23) Wenye cheo cha pili watapata kila mmoja sehemu ya urithi iliyo kubwa kuliko sehemu ya wale walio katika cheo cha tatu.
(24) Ikiwa marehemu amewagawia warithi wake sehemu ya mali yake wakati alipokuwa bado hai, sehemu hii inahesabiwa katika mgawanyo wa mali baada ya kifo chake.
(25) Kwa kawaida, cheo cha kwanza ni cha mtoto wa kiume wa kwanza, cheo cha pili ni cha watoto wa kiume wengine, na cheo cha tatu ni cha watoto wa kike.
(26) Kama marehemu ameacha watoto wa kiume, au wa kiume pamoja na wa kike, hao ndio watakaorithi mali yake yote.
(27) Mjane hana fungu lake katika urithi ikiwa marehemu aliacha jamaa na ukoo wake: fungu lake in kutunzwa na watoto wake, jinsi alivyowatunza. (Fungu la mjane mgumba lililotajwa katika kifungu 77, Sheria zinazohusu Hali ya Watu *, halihesabiwi katika urithi wa mumewe).
(28) Mume hawezi kurithi mali ya mke ake katika urithi usio na wosia-ila kama mke hakuacha watoto na hakuacha kabisa mtu yeyote wa ukoo wake.
(29) Kama hakuna watoto wa kiume, mtoto wa kike mkubwa toka nyumba ya kwanza ni mrithi wa kwanza. Ila, kama kuna ndugu wa kiume, yule ndugu aliye badala ya baba ndiye atakayepokea mahari ya watoto wa kike watakapoolewa.
(30) Utaraibu wa mgawayo wa urithi kati ya warithi wa cheo cha pili na cha tatu hufuatana na umri wao-yaani, wakubwa watapata zaidi ya wadogo na wa kiume wapate zaidi ya wa kike.
MFANO-Urithi uliyokuwa wa ng'ombe peke yake:
Jumla ya ng'ombe 24.
Cheo I - Mtoto wa kiume - Umri 23-atapata ng'ombe 9.
Cheo II - Mtoto wa kiume - Umri 20-atapata ng'ombe 5.
Mtoto wa kiume - Umri 14-atapata ng'ombe 4.
Cheo III - Mtoto wa kike - Umri 25-atapata ng'ombe 3.
Mtoto wa kike - Umri 22-atapata ng'ombe 2.
Mtoto wa kike - Umri 18-atapata ng'ombe 1.
(31) Kama mtoto ni mmoja tu peke yake, yeye atarithi mali yote-isipokuwa kama yeye ni mwanamke hawezi kurithi ardhi ya ukoo, ambayo ataweza kuitumia bila kuiza wakati wa uhai wake. Hata hivyo, kifungu cha 20 kifuatwe.
(32) Ikiwa watoto wa kike wapo, ila hakuna watoto wa kiume walio hai au walioacha watoto wao, hakuna cheo cha pili.
(33) Ikiwa watoto wa kiume wapo, ila hakuna watoto wa kike walio hai au walioacha watoto wenyewe, hakuna chao cha tatu.
(34) Wajukuu watarithi cheo cha baba au mama yao katika urithi wa babu ikiwa baba au mama yao amekufa kabla ya babu.
(35) Lakini kama wajukuu ni watoto wa mtoto wa kiume wa kwanza, wao hawatapata cheo cha kwanza ikiwa babu yao aliacha mtoto wa kiume mwingine toka nyumba ile.
(36) Ikiwa ni hivyo, mtoto wa kiume mkubwa aliyebaki ndiye atakayekuwa mrithi wa kwanza, na atakayepata cheo cha kwanza katika urithi wa babaye.
(37) Wajukuu wale halafu watatangulia katika cheo cha pili.
(38) Mtoto asiye halai (yaani, aliyekwenda ujombani) atarithi katika urithi wa mama yake; na kama mama yake alikufa bila kuacha watoto halali na kabla ya babu, mtoto huyu asiye halai atarithi cheo cha mama katika urithi wa babu.
(39) Kama mama wa mtoto asiye halali hakuwa na mtoto mwingine isipokuwa mama wa mtoto huyu na kama mama amekufa, mtoto huyu asiye halali atakuwa mrithi halali wa babu yake.
(40) Kama babu wa mtoto asiye halali hakuwa na mtoto mwingine isipokuwa maam wa mtoto huyu na kama mama yake kwa kufuata umri wake pamoja na watoto wale wengine.
(41) Watoto waliohalalishwa kwa ndoa ya wazazi wao wanahesabiwa kama watoto walizaliwa halali, isipokuwa mtoto aliyehalalishwa kwa ndoa hawezi kutangulia katika urithi ingawa alizaliwa kwanza, ikiwa kuna mtoto wa kiume mwingine wa nyumba ingine ambaye mama yake aliolewa na marehemu kabla ya mama wa mtoto aliyehalalishwa.
(42) Watoto waliohalilishwa kwa malipo maalum (yaliyotajwa katika kifungu 181 cha Sheria zinazohusu Hali ya Watu) * watarithi nyuma ya watoto waliozaliwa na katika cheo cha pili kama ni mwanamume na katika cheo cha tatu kama ni mwanamke.
(43) Watoto wasio halali hawawezi kurithi upande wa kiume katika urithi usio na wosia.
(44) Ikiwa marehemu hakuacha watoto wala wajukuu, watarithi kaka na dada zake waliochangia bab na mama-kaka wa kwanza atakuwa na cheo cha kwanza, kaka mwingine na cheo cha pili na dada cheo cha tatu.
(45) Ikiwa marehemu hakuacha kaka wala dada waliochangia baba na mama, watoto wa kaka au dada waliochangia baba na mama watarithi mali ya marehemu huyo kabla ya kaka au dada wa kuumeni, yaani wa baba mmoja ila mama mbali mbali.
(46) Ikiwa hakuna kaka au dada wowote, watarithi watoto wao.
(47) Ikiwa marehemu hakuacha kaka au dada wala watoto wao, atarithi babaye.
(48) Ikiwa baba mzazi amekwisha kufa, watarithi baba wadogo na shangazi.
(49) Ikiwa hakuna baba au shangazi, watarithi ndugu wengine wa kuumeni.
(50) Ikiwa hakuna ndugu kabisa, mume atarithi mali ya mke, na mke atarithi mali ya mumewe.
(51) Warithi au mrithi wa mume watakuwa na wajibu wa kumtunza mjane.
(52) Kama hakuna mrithi, mali ya marehemu itachukuliwa na Serikali ya Mtaa.
(53) Mkuu wa ukoo akifa, mkuu mpya huchaguliwa na baraza la ukoo.
THIRD SCHEDULE
SHERIA ZA WOSIA
(1) Wosia maana yake ni kauli inayotolewa na mtu wakati wa uhai wake kwa hiari yake kuonyesha nia yake jinsi gani angependa mali yake ingawanye baada ya kufa kwake.
(2) Wosia unaweza kuwa wa namna bili; wosia wa mdomo na wosia uliyoandikwa.
(3) Wosia uhsuhudiwe na mashahidi maalum ambao lazima wawepo wakati mmoja.
(4) Mashahidi hawa huchaguliwa na mwenye kutoa wosia mwenyewe.
(5) Zaidi ya mashahidi maalum, mkewe (mwenyewe kutoa wosia) au wake zake waliopo nyumbani lazima washuhudie vile vile.
(6) Watu wanaorithi kitu ch chote kutoka wosia hawawezi kuhesabiwa kama mashahidi kushuhudia wosia ule-isipokuwa mke au wake wa mwenye kutoa wosia.
(7) Wosia hauna nguvu ikiwa mwenye kutoa wosia amepungukiwa akili kwa sababu ya wazimu, ugonjwa, ulevi au hasira ya ghafula.
(8) Wosia hauwezi kupingwa kwa sababu hizi, isipokuwa na mtu anayehusika.
(9) Kama mwenye kutoa wosia alikuwa na akili ya kutosha itategemea ushahidi wa wale mashahidi maalum na wa mke wake au wake zake, na hata ushahidi mwingine kama upo.
(10) Kama mashahidi hawapatani, itakuwa juu ya baraza kupima na kukubali ushahidi utakaofaa.
Wosia wa mdomo:
(11) Wosia wa mdomo ushuhudiwe na mashahidi wasiopungua wanne-yaani, watu wa ukoo wasipungue wawili na watu baki wasipungue wawili.
(12) Wosia wa mdomo unaweza kubadilishwa au kufutwa kwa kufuata ule utaratibu uliyoelezwa katika vifungu vya 4, 5, na 11.
(13) Mashahidi wa wosia wa kwanza, ikiwa wapo na wanaweza kupatikana, washuhudie.
(14) Ikiwa mashahidi wamekufa wote kabla ya mwenye kutoa wosia hajafa, wosia hauwezi kukubaliwa, na urithi utagawanyika kufuata mpango wa urithi usio na wosia.
(15) Mwenyewe kama anataka kuusia mali yake, lazima atoe wosia mpya.
(16) Ikiwa mashahidi wengine wamekufa, lakini walio hai bado hawapungui wawili, wosia utafuatwa.
Wosia wa kuandika:
(17) Wosia wa kuandika usiandikwe na kalamu ya risasi: unaweza kupigwa chapa au kuandikwa na wino au na kalamu isiyofutika.
(18) Tarehe ya wosia uliyoandikwa lazima iwekwe.
(19) Wosia uliyoandikwa ushuhudiwe na mashahidi wanaojua kusoma na kuandika-yaani mashahidi wasipungue wawili (mmoja wa ukoo na mmoja mtu baki) ikiwa mwenye wosia anajua kusoma na kuandika, na wasipungue wanne Swahili wa ukoo na wawili watu baki)-ikiwa mwenyewe hajui kusoma na kuandika.
(20) Mwenyewe atie sahihi yake katika wosia uliyoandikwa ikiwa anajua kusoma na kuandika: ikiwa haui, aweke alama ya kidole chake cha gumba cha kulia.
(21) Mashahidi washuhudie sahihi au alama ya mwenye kutoa wosia, na wenyewe watie sahihi zao katika wosia.
(22) Karatasi yenye maandiko ya wosia isijazwe wala isiongezwe na mtu ye yote.
(23) Wosia uliyoandikwa unaweza kubadilishwa au kufutwa kwa kutengeneza wosia uliyoandikwa mwingine.
(24) Wosia uliyoandikwa unaweza kuandikishwa au kuwekwa barazani, lakini si lazima ila hiari.
(25) Uandikishaji au uwekaji huu haukubaliwi kuwa uhtibitisho wa wosia ikiwa masharti yote ya sheria yaliotajwa mbele hayakutimizwa.
(26) Mtu aliye chini ya umri wa miaka 21 hawezi kutoa wosia wa mdomo wala wosia uliyoandikwa.
(27) Wosia uliyoandikwa hauwezi kufutwa au kubadilishwa na wosia wa mdomo; lakini wosia wa mdomo unaweza kubadilishwa au kufutwa na wosia uliyoandikwa, wakihudhuria mashahidi wote walio hai na wanaoweza kupatikana walioshuhudia wosia wa mdomo.
Kuhusu wosia za aina zote mbili:
(28) Mwenye kutoa wosia anaweza kuusia mali yake yote bila kutaja kila kitu atakachokuwa nacho wakati wa kufa kwake.
(29) Ikiwa mwenye kutoa wosia anausia sehemu tu ya mali atkayekuwa nayo, baki itagawanywa kufuata masharti ya urithi usio na wosia-isipokuwa kama mtu anayeusiwa angestahili kurithi kufuata mpango wa urithi usio na wosia, mali anayoachiwa katika wosia itahesabiwa wakati wa kugawanywa baki.
(30) Sababu zinazohesabiwa ni nzito za kuwezesha mwenye kutoa wosia kumnyima marithi usio na wosia-isipokuwa kama mtu anayeusiwa angestahili kurithi kufuata mpango wa urithi usio na wosia, mali anayoachiwa katika wosia itahesabiwa wakati wa kugawanywa baki.
(31) Sababu zinazohesabiwa ni nzito za kuwezesha mwenye kutoa wosia kumnyima mrithi urithi wake ni hizi zifuatazo:–
(i) Ikiwa mrithi amezini na mke wa mwenye kutoa wosia;
(ii) Ikiwa mrithi amejaribu kumua, amemshambulia au amemdhuru vibaya mwenye kutoa au mama mzazi wake (yaani, wa mrithi);
(iii) Ikiwa mrithi, bila sababu ya haki, hakumtunza mwenye kutoa wosia katika shida ya njaa au ya ugonjwa.
(32) Ikiwa mrithi ameharibu mali ya mwenye kutoa wosia, uharibifu wake utahesabiwa katika kukisia sehemu ya urithi atakayostahili kupata.
(33) Dini haihesabiwi kama sababu ya kumnyima mtu urithi.
(34) Mtu atakaye kumnyima mrithi urithi wake lazima aseme wazi katika wosia wake na aeleze sababu zake.
(35) Mrithi aliyenyimwa urithi wake apate nafasi kujitetea mbele ya mwenye kutoa wosia au mbele ya baraza la ukoo.
(36) Mtu ambaye alijua kwamba amenyimwa urithi na ambaye hakushughulika kujitetea hawezi kupinga wosia baada ya kufa mwenye kutoa wosia.
(37) Ikiwa mtu aliyenyimwa urithi hakuwa na habari kabla ya kifo cha mwenye kutoa wosia, atasikilizwa na baraza la ukoo-litakalokuwa na haki ya kukubali au kukataa madai yake.
(38) Kama inaonekana kwamba mtu amenyimwa urithi katika wosia pasipokuwepo sababu ya haki, wosia unavunjwa na urithi utagawanyiwa kufuata mpango wa urithi usio na wosia.
(39) Shauri kama hili huamuliwa na baraza la ukoo, ila mtu anayehusika asiporidhika anaweza kufika barazani kwa hakimu.
(40) Mume anaweza kumwusia mkewe mazao au mapato ya mali yake mpaka aolewe tena au afe.
(41) Kama mume anao wake wengi anaweza kuwausia watoto (siyo kuwapa wengine na wengine kuwanyima) mazao au mapato ya mali yake kwa kufuata vyeo vya urithi usio na wosia, mpaka waolewe tena au wafe.
(42) Mjane asiye na watoto anaweza kuusiwa hata mazao au mapato ya ile sehemu ya mali aliyochuma na mumewe (na aliyotajwa katika kifungu 77 ya Sheria zinazohusu Hali ya Wat) * ambayo ingalirudi kuumeni.
(43) Mtu anaweza kumrithisha rafiki yake vitu au vyombo vyake alivyokuwa akivitumia mwenyewe binafsi au sehemu ya urithi isiyozidi fungu la kila mrithi halisi.
