Marriage and romance are sensitive subjects because they both dictate sexual behaviour, another controversial subject in its own right. Due to social interest in how people fall in love and with whom, society has created a set of written and unwritten rules to guide romantic relationships. There is a minimum age of marriage, and there are laws to punish individuals who force or coerce others into sexual activities. Relationships that go beyond social boundaries are not criminal by law, but they attract lots of attention. A lot of the criticism on social media centres on the rather low probability of Omwaka and Musila bearing children from their impending marriage.
