some cultural history of Kisiizi falls, according to the older people living in this area theses falls are believed to have contributed to the good morals of the unmarried Bakiga girls in the area and some from afar. when a girl got pregnant out of wedlock, the father and brother would take her to these falls and release her to fall off the cliff where she would meet her death. this would scare young girls to engage in premarital sex hence ensuring girls stayed virgins until marriage.
