First and foremost, I would also like to congratulate the Member for Konoin Constituency for bringing this Motion, which aims at addressing a problem that is in the society. It is a fact that parents are a vital portion in our upbringing. They provide warmth, love, guidance, assurance and ensure proper upbringing of children. In life, the mother is practically the one who plays the most crucial role in children’s upbringing. Most families these days are degenerating into single parenthood. Fathers are becoming less responsible and the burden is being left on mothers. You find that those who are being imprisoned are mostly the mothers. Such scenarios begin with simple cases in the villages - cases which could be dealt with by village elders or local chiefs. However, most people end up reporting such matters at police stations. Unfortunately, our police officers are not trained to try and solve simple problems. Sometimes they even take advantage of such situations to seek money. If you do not part with money, then your case ends up in court, and sometimes you are given a sentence which is not commensurate with the crime that you have committed. In this regard, I urge the Provincial Administration, especially now that we have passed the Bill, to pay village elders to try as much as possible to advise the communities to try and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
