King Mwasti III of swaziland  has told religious leaders at the weekend that it is against culture to divorce. He’s instructed them to inform citizens that there will be no divorce again in the country.  His directive comes as the kingdom’s attorney-general is drafting a marriage Bill which will make it easier to divorce, particularly for women. “It is not necessarily a decree. However, given the vast powers that the king has it may sound as it is. Remember that he’s also a chairperson of the judiciary commission.
