Social media loves a good scandal and NBS TV’s MC Casmir just served a buffet as a video of him nabbed in bed with a married woman emerged online.
In a video making rounds on social media, MC Casmir is seen handcuffed and pleading for mercy from a man (probably the husband of the woman he was caught with).
Casmir admitted to have had sex with the woman before saying, “Yes! I am sorry.” The woman as well confirmed having engaged in a sex act with the MC.
“Punish me but even if you punish me, just know I will regret what I did,” Casmir said while exiting the ‘hotel’ room.
As expected, trolls have bombarded social media with memes, as they share their thought about the situation.
What does Ugandan law say about adultery?
Uganda’s Constitutional Court scrapped the law against adultery in 2007 after feminists argued that it was discriminatory against women.
The law back then stipulated that it was legal for a married man to have an affair with an unmarried woman but against the law, for a married woman to have an affair with an unmarried man.
The adultery law prescribed different penalties and remedies for men and women. It was pre-supposed that only married men could be aggrieved in case of adultery.
An aggrieved husband was compensated with Shs600, which later went up to Shs1,200, but an aggrieved wife got nothing.
However, though adultery is no longer an offense, different cultural and religious institutions have varying punishments for individuals caught cheating.
