...to wed by the end of 2017. Lol
Unmarried couples in the East African
country of Burundi have until the end of the
year to legalise their relationships through
church or state registrations.
In May, President Pierre Nkurunziza signed a
new law which the government says will help
protect women and create a more moral
society, but some disagree.
The government insists a legal document
recognising a marriage helps protect women
and their children, especially when it comes to
issues such as inheritance. However, others
say the new marriage law infringes on
people's religious beliefs, customs and
practices.

Well that's one way to evacuate the country.
So if you meet someone, you've got to marry them instantly..? Or just stay single. * +

I'm fine with that law. As long as single people not in ANY kind of relationship are NOT being forced into a marriage as well. * +
