"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to second this amendment. As the PSC, we did not intend to legislate for this and it must have escaped our attention. We have absolutely no intention of legislating on child marriages. Even though people are saying that we are engaging in an exercise in futility, I do not think so because this will form part of legislative history. In future, should we want to amend this, it will be on record that we opposed child marriages. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to encourage the Attorney-General that if we do not raise the numbers, it is actually contradictory of Article 57(d). Therefore, when this document goes to him, he can harmonise it by providing for the word âadultâ. Otherwise, this is one of the best drafts in relation to children, because of the issues of human rights and human rights-based approach."
