The governor of Tanzania's largest city wants to create a database that tracks married men in the East African region in order to crack down on infidelity and "humiliating" women, he said this week.
坦尚尼雅某大城官員本週表示，要建立東非地區已婚男性的資料庫，阻止不忠的行為，讓女性蒙羞。
Women have been complaining that men are deceiving them by making false promises of marriage, Dar es Salaam regional commissioner Paul Makonda said at a news conference on Monday.
許多女性抱怨，男性騙他們說會娶他們。該官員Paul Makonda在記者會上表示。
"If possible, we will set up a database in the regional commissioner's office in each region that every man who promises a woman marriage, this should be registered in the database which will allow women to check to see whether the person asking is married," he explained.
如果可以的話，我們將在此地區建立資料庫，所有承諾結婚的男性都要登記入庫，讓女性可以查詢該名男性是否已婚。
The government-run public database would include all married men's' names and photos, but other details of such a database -- including its legality -- remain unclear.
This would not be the first time Makonda has made a controversial suggestion. Last year he called for citizens to start reporting gay people in Tanzania, where same-sex relationships are illegal.
這個資料庫若建立後，將會是政府管理，其中包含所有已婚男性的名字及照片。但這個資料庫是否合法？這不是第一次Makonda提出這樣有爭議性的建議。去年，它就要求人民要申報坦尚尼雅的同志。同志關係目前在該國仍是違法的
