INTRODUCTION TO MEDIATION

DEFINITION

Alternative Dispute Resolution is the procedure for settling disputes without litigation.

TYPES

Arbitration, Mediation and Negotiation

MEDIATION

It is a collaborative process where a mediator works with the parties to a mutually agreeable solution.

It is a private non binding form of ADR where a neutral third party allows parties to come up with their own solution.

The main reason why parties need to opt for mediation in the resolution of disputes is to preserve relationships.

This may either be personal, professional or commercial relationships.

Other reasons why parties should settle their disputes using mediation are:-

1. It resolves issues faster; time saving.

2. Cost saving; mediation is cheaper than litigation.

3. Disputes are satisfactory; resolved by both parties.

4. Reduces emotional trauma unlike litigation.

4. Access to justice- enhanced accessibility.

5. Done in privacy.

6. No rules of procedure unlike litigation.

7. Voluntary- non binding.

8. Parties have control of the process; parties resole their own disputes.

TYPES OF MEDIATION OFFERED

1. Family mediation

2. Landlord tenant mediation

3. Contract disputes

4. Employment disputes

5. Consumer/merchant disputes

Customary marriages
This is a type of union that is dictated by some unwritten rules of a particular community or society. These practices can be dated back to the pre-colonial period. Of recent these cultural practices have been depreciating. However, the new marriage Act postulates that customary marriage in Kenya has to be supported with a valid certificate.

Here, polygamy is allowed by the law. Therefore, one can marry as many wives as he can handle. After doing a customary wedding, you must inform the registrar within a period of 3 months where you will be required to fill a CM1 form. Upon receiving the notice, the registrar will put a notice to the public inviting any objections.

If no one objects your marriage, you will fill a form CM2 and CM3. The registrar then officially hands you a marriage certificate. The union can be void under the following conditions:

1.If the registrar determines a particular objection to your wedding to be relevant.

2.If elders warrant its dissolution under various circumstances like a wife being adulterous, the husband being impotent, in the event of excessive violence, witchcraft, and many more reasons.

3.If one of the couples seeks for a divorce and is granted by the court.

4.One of the parties is not under free consent to it.

Hindu marriages
This type of wedlock applies to couples who profess the Hinduism religion or faith. It is conducted by a person officiated by the registrar to do so in accordance with all the Hindu rituals. Here dowry is paid to the bride’s family.

For such a marriage to be registered, the authorized person conducting it should record all the proceeding in a form and then deliver it to the registrar. The union will be void under the following circumstances:

If one of the parties is already married to someone else.

If any of the two is under the required minimum marriage age,

Where either the man or woman is not sound minded at the time of marriage contract.

If one of the parties successfully files a divorce case in any Kenyan court.

Adultery committed by one of the spouses.

Cruelty in one of the spouse might lead to dissolution

Civil marriage

This is a type of marriage in which the state grants the couple a legal recognition of their partnership by use of a marriage certificate in Kenya. The ceremony is usually officiated by a government officer or any other person who is approved by the state.

When one intends to marry under this type of marriage, he/she has to give the person in charge of the region and the government registrar a notice in written form. It should not be of more than 90 days and less than 21 days. After receiving the announcement, the registrar publishes the date and venue where the ceremony will take place.

If no one raises an obligation against the parties uniting, a certificate of no impenitence is immediately issued, and the ceremony takes place. However, if anyone objects the wedlock, the registrar listens to it under section 28 in not more than seven days after receiving the query. The marriage cannot occur under the following circumstances:

Homosexuality - the subject that is a no go zone in Kenya

If the objection submitted to the registrar has not been heard.

One of the parties is in a prohibited relationship.

Either the man or woman is married to another person.

Both or one person is below the minimum age for marriage.

The irretrievable breakup of the marriage.

One spouse has been sentenced to life or more than seven years of imprisonment.

The insanity of one party could lead to dissolution.

One spouse desserts the other for more than 3 years.

If in a foreign country, you can choose to officiate your marriage at any Kenyan embassy office. You will be required to meet all the marriage regulations in the specific country excluding the civil marriage in Kenya laws.

Section 3 of the Marriage Act states that "Marriage is the voluntary union of a man and a woman whether in a monogamous or polygamous union". Such union is only legal if it it registered in accordance with the Act.
Christian marriages are types of marriage where one party professes the religion of Christianity. It is a marriage conducted by a church minister in charge of a public place of worship.
Christians approach marriage as a type of covenant. The relationship is based on commitment and promises and not just feelings, despite the fact that love must be involved. If you engage in this kind of marriage,you cannot, therefore,be polygamous since you are committed to one person.
For it to be legal,it must be unopposed. A marriage certificate is signed then taken to the government registrar within 14 days after the ceremony by the person who officiated it. However, it can be void under the following conditions:
1. If a person appeals within 14 days after the ceremony to the registrar to nullify the marriage and the query is approved.
2. An objection notice is given before the marriage stating the reason why the two parties involved should not be married, and is approved by the church minister.
3. If it is officiated by someone who is not registered by the government registrar to conduct marriages.
4. If the couple divorce by use of the regulations provided in the Marriage Act for which the Bible highly discourages.
5. Dissertation by one party for more than three years.

Islamic marriage is a contract, not a sacrament. It is thus a legal contract that can be described as a civil agreement entered into by two individuals or those acting on their behalf.
There are various essential elements that needs to be present for an Islamic marriage to be valid. These include;
1. Offer and acceptance of the marriage proposal.
2. Both parties must consent to the marriage of their own free wills.
3. A formal, binding contract, either verbal or on paper is considered integral to a religiously valid Islamic marriage and outlines the rights and responsibilities of the groom and bride.
4. Both parties should have the competency to contract the marriage. That includes;
i) They should both have attained the age of majority in Kenya that means 18 years of age.
ii) They should both be of sound mind.
iii) They should both be of the Muslim faith in the case of the bride. However, the groom is excepted and can marry a lady from the christian and jewish faith.
5. The presence of dowry is important. It is a token to the bride which she can use, save or invest as she wishes.

Islamic jurisprudence, as elaborated by various schools of legal thought, considers the main purpose of the marriage contact to make intimacy lawful (halal) between a husband and wife and to legitimize any resulting offspring.

The marriage contract also establishes further rights and duties for each spouse. Aside from the basic requirement of "mutual good treatment," which is not legally defined, these rights and duties are differentiated by gender. They are also interdependent: a failure by one spouse to perform a specific duty may jeopardize his or her claim to a particular right.
