    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, just to put all hon. Members at ease, my consultations with the Speaker and the Clerk's office did envisage that even though hon. Muturi's amendment would be carried, that the phrasing of mine would be allowed and we can proceed. I beg to move:- THAT, Section 170 be substituted with the following-: Any person who wilfully and by fraud causes another person who is not lawfully married to him/her to believe that such person is lawfully married to him/her and to cohabit or have sexual intercourse with him or her in that belief is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for ten years. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have already given my reasons that this is about fraud. We cannot wish away fraud if it is between male and female relationships. Until our laws on marriage are revised by this Parliament, I think it is in the best interest to retain this particular September 6, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3777 clause. I beg to move."
