Landlady to 'agent': No, you aren't my husband, but just a lover
The Supreme Court is set to hear and determine the legality of the come-we-stay union following a decade-old dispute involving a Nairobi “landlady” and her “agent”.
The court’s judges will also determine whether the doctrine of presumption of marriage is a good law and whether property acquired during intimate relationships can be said to be matrimonial. In addition, the court will determine how properties acquired by come-we-stay and unregistered couples should be distributed upon dissolution of the union and whether the principle of equitable sharing is applicable.
After sitting on June 14, the apex court will also determine the legal basis for the protection of cohabitation and division of property upon dissolution of family formed from cohabitation, unrecognised marriages or other unregistered unions.
