    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Law on Succession (Amendment) Bill. I have listened to the Members who have spoken before me and I really want to understand. When you marry two wives and one gets 10 children and the other one gets two, what happens when you leave this world? Do they divide your property equally between the two wives? That is what I would want to understand because it is very important. The other thing is, in customary law, particularly in my culture, if a woman is married officially, she will remain the wife to her husband for the rest of her life, even if she divorces or remarries. She will still remain the wife of the person who married her officially. Even if she bears other children to her second husband, those children will be considered children of her first husband. I do not know whether Hon. Kaluma has taken care of that because the Constitution respects culture and there is diversity in culture."
