A Ugandan court has ordered a woman to serve six months in prison or pay about $4,000 after she failed to marry a man who paid her school fees. The ruling came after the man sued for breach of a promise to marry and fund her diploma.
The court said she must either refund the support or face jail time in Rukungiri.
The case is sparking debate about agreements in personal relationships and how they are enforced in Uganda’s legal system.
