Dar es Salaam, Feb. 28 -- SUMBAWANGA, RUKWA: MARRIED couples have been urged to avoid granting divorces recklessly to protect their fundamental rights, including property division and child custody.

This call was made by a team of lawyers from the Mama Samia Legal Aid Campaign (MSLAC) while providing legal aid services to residents of Utinta Village, located in Korongwe Ward, Nkasi District in Rukwa Region.

Speaking on behalf of the team, Meshack John, a legal assistant from the Legal and Social Welfare Department of Nkasi District, stated that informal separations without legal proceedings can lead to the loss of rights, including fair distribution of property based on each spouses contribution.
