Garden weddings have been limited to 15 people while private ceremonies at the Attorney General’s office will now be restricted to four people.

State Law Office CAS Winnie Guchu said those opting to conduct their wedding in public spaces such as gardens will be expected to conduct their ceremony within 45 minutes.
Speaking during a Press briefing on Friday where she announced the resumption of marriage services, the CAS said all applications should be done online.
She also noted that only two couples will be allowed to tie the knot per day.

Further, couples will not be allowed to pick their wedding date.
According to the CAS, a calendar has been developed that requires those seeking marriage services to wait to be slotted into the schedule.
The marriage services were suspended after many Kenyans flocked the Attorney General’s office in Nairobi raising fears of spread of COVID-19.

Kenya launches online marriage services amid Covid-19 pandemic

Kenya has launched online marriage services in a bid to eliminate human traffic at Sheria House and curb the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.

State Law Office Chief Administrative Secretary Winnie Guchu said couples intending to get married will have to do the entire registration process on the eCitizen portal.

“There will be no more manual services at the registrar of marriage at Sheria House as all services will be available online.

“We do not want any couple coming for services at Sheria House unless it is of utmost importance,” she said.

Marriage services at the government office were initially been suspended in May after an influx of clients at the registrar of marriage brought a dilemma on enforcing Covid-19 measures while keeping services running.

Before the Covid-19 outbreak, Sheria House used to attend to about 400 clients during low season and 600 clients during the high season months of August and December. The closure in May resulted to the suspension of 2,551 marriages, officials said.

Couples planning to do a civil wedding, will now be required to register their details on the eCitizen portal, pay for the marriage fee, book for a pre-wedding interview and later get an appointment for the wedding to be officiated by the registrar.

The schedule will have to be adhered to and if not the couples will have to book new dates.

“After completion of registration on the platform, couples will still be given 21-days’ notice for approval just as it was in the manual process. However, this process will be first rolled out in Nairobi, and thereafter in other counties after the platform takes root,” the CAS added.
