    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, arbitration is commercial oriented. I urge the Attorney-General that whenever we move such amendments, we must have a clear gender and age lens. I know that the Attorney-General facilitated a training for some women organizations, including FIDA on mediation. There was an indication that a Bill would be tabled in Parliament to enable organizations and the Government to deal with family-related issues. For instance, I have looked at the draft Bill on marriage laws. One of the things that appear under our current system of divorce is that we must have fault. That, therefore, means that whenever somebody wants to divorce, you must allude to adultery, cruelty, practice of witchcraft and all manner of things and yet under the draft amendments to the marriage laws, we have still carried the same things back. With the current generation, people divorce because they do not like your style of dressing. So, we may not need to find those grounds. However, we may need to encourage young people to go through mediation so that they know that even if you do not like dressing, you might like something else. That is why we need to look at these laws with a gender lens. I urge the Attorney-General to let us know what he will do to give this matter a gender lens."
