EDITOR—Christine Ikiria reduced Bishop Charles Bernard Obaikol to a mediocre in canon law. She said: “Please Bishop, listen to me. I have something to say. This wedding should not be allowed to proceed because biblically Ebaju cannot wed the second time in Church, when I, the first wife he wedded in Church, am still alive.
He can only wed again after I die.â€
Ikiria eloquently argued that although Ebaju was granted divorce by court and was free to marry as many women as he wished, he could not marry in Church when she was still alive.
Pushed against the wall and with no argument to challenge Ikiria, Obaikol abandoned the bible and wandered into the domain of a secular court quoting the Ugandan law and insisting on a court injunction as a precondition to stop the wedding! Bishop Obaikol presided over a fake wedding! What will the Church do about it?
