DO I NEED A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE TO SHOW I'M MARRIED?

Not necessarily. However, a marriage certificate is conclusive proof that one is legally married. For civil and religious marriages, the registration of the marriage is what is needed to show that there was a marriage.

While for traditional marriages such as Kwanjula for the Baganda, the completion of the Kwanjula ceremony and payment of the bride wealth, among others, may be used as evidence to prove that one is married.
