Recent infections are more widespread and are increasing rapidly, said Zeng Guang, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.China has reported two deaths from H1N1 influenza - an 18-year-old woman in Tibet who died on Oct 4 and a 43-year-old woman who died last Friday in Xining, capital of Northwest China’s Qinghai province.

China is experiencing a second round of H1N1 flu infection.Zeng said as seasons change, H1N1 infections slow in the southern hemisphere, while they rocket in the northern hemisphere.The Chinese mainland had reported more than 26,300 cases of H1N1 influenza as of last Friday. About 86 percent have already recovered.

More than 17,000 of the cases were reported in September alone. H1N1 infections are spreading to small and medium-sized cities, as well as central and west China, Zeng said.An epidemiological study directed by Zeng shows airborne particles of saliva are the prime suspect for H1N1 infection, while no evidence exists to show the air itself can spread the virus.He said the fight against H1N1 should shift from preventing imported H1N1 cases to strengthening the response capabilities of small cities in less-developed regions. Zeng is concerned that if there are too many critical cases in one region, hospitals will not be able to provide sufficient care.

So far, more than 300,000 people have been vaccinated against H1N1, with 150 showing adverse reactions, including local swelling and pain, fever, vomiting and fatigue.

The Beijing Health Bureau said free vaccination of all the primary and middle school students will begin today.

"Most of the reported adverse drug reactions were mild," said Health Ministry spokesman Deng Haihua. "Generally speaking, our inoculations have been successful."

As of Friday, 17.6 million doses of the vaccine had been approved for release, the State Food and Drug Administration said. The administration has issued vaccine production licenses to eight domestic firms.

Last week, the  Law Reform Commission introduced a bill to replace the troubled Domestic Relations Bill that included among others, proposals allowing women married to impotent men to divorce them.A cross section of religious leaders have denounced the proposals in the recent Marriage and Divorce Bill, saying they degrade the role of religion in marriage.

Sheikh Ibrahim Kirya, the Spokesperson of the Mufti Sheikh Zubair Kayongo  said the Muslim community would not adhere to the new bill because Islam has its own rules on marriage.“As for the new changes, we, the Muslims, are not concerned because marriage is part of worship and therefore it has its own rules. We are not ready and will not abide by them (new bill) except if they are following the Sharia law,” said Sheikh Kirya.It also allows for cohabiting couples to have equal rights to property that they have accumulated while staying together and giving the Minister of Justice powers to determine and licence places where marriages can take place.

Fr.  Larry Kanyike, the chaplain of St Augustine Chapel at Makerere University, said the bill weakens the institution of marriage and seems to be opposing the Church in the running of marriages.

“The law takes precedent from the commitment of the two married people to other things like material wealth and property,” Fr. Kanyike said.

Fr. Kanyike however chips in saying if the impotence started after the man had got married, then there is no reason for divorce.Sheikh Kirya says the case of impotence of the man is left to the woman to decide in Islam, and that can depend on things like whether the man was impotent from the start of the marriage.

Rev. Senyonyi also notes that the Bill creates for the increase in materialistic-founded relationships which are already wide spread in society.“Marriage is a union of two people committed to each other. The issue of cohabiting brings problems because soon, people will be willing to marry because they are committed to your property and not to you as a person. That is the reality of our degeneration in society today,” he said.

On Tuesday, the Law Reform Commission lashed out at the Catholic Church for having concerns over the Bill, especially with divorce.

The worldwide Roman Catholic Church has for centuries been against divorce, with this being the one of the main causes for the breakaway of the Protestant Church in the 15th century, after the English King, was denied a chance to divorce by the pope. This was after his wife failed to bear him an heir.

Fr. Kanyike and Sheikh Kirya vow to continue teaching their faithful the true ways of marriage that their faiths dictate, a stance that puts the law making body and the government on a war path with the religious establishment.

In the bill, bridal wealth or bride price is set to be abolished meaning it is not a prerequisite for marriage. But if a suitor decides to pay bridal price, whatever he gives will be considered bridal gifts that are not refundable upon resolution of the marriage according to the bill. Ms Justine Arinaitwe Sserwanga who has been married for five years is happy and in full support of this clause.  “It took my husband two years of diligent saving to come up with the required Shs3 million by my parents before they could officially give me away and recognise him,” she said.

Another clause in the bill seeks to recognise cohabiting couples for more than two years. According to the bill: “Spouses or cohabitees may make an agreement during marriage or cohabitation with respect to the ownership and distribution of property on dissolution of marriage or cohabitation.” The catch here is that a couple must make an agreement prior to, or when cohabiting in accord of how to share property in the event of a separation.

It is only fair that a woman shares  a man’s property if they have stayed for this long, according to Ms Farida Kasasa the woman MP for Mubende District. “Much as a woman may not be working, we are looking at her contribution to a man’s welfare in terms of ironing his clothes while he goes to work, providing companionship, and looking after the home.”

The MP, however, thinks people might misuse this law and marry for a few years before asking for their share in property.

But the fiery and tough-speaking Miria Matembe allays such fears. She says court does not just grant divorce to whoever walks in asking for it. “There must be reasonable grounds for divorce and there must be proof that a couple has tried all means of reconciliation and have failed.”

Impotence is the other aspect that is drawing a lot of contention from the public but Jackie Asiimwe Mwesige a women’s activist, says this law has been in existence but that the public did not know it existed.
This clause says: “A civil marriage is voidable where one of the parties to the civil marriage conceals a material fact such as impotence.

Some of the proposals in the Marriage and Divorce Bill

A voidable Christian marriage is, for all purposes, a valid marriage until it is annulled by a decree of a competent court at the instance of the innocent party.
