    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to oppose this amendment, especially with regard to Paragraph 5. Whereas I understand that in marriage many people say they cannot be raped, maybe because in the olden days when the Bible was written, that was a different time. However, we are now in the age of the HIV/AIDS scourge and we must protect both spouses. If one spouse suspects that the other spouse is infected with the HIV/AIDS virus, that spouse has a right to say \"no\" unless the partner uses a condom. We know that, in most cases, women are not able to negotiate with their husbands to use a condom because they are over-powered. In that instance, we are putting the lives of women in danger of transmission of the HIV/AIDS. I feel that women should be protected by leaving the clause as it is. Where there is love and there is no suspicion of any infection, no wife will say \"no\", so that she is raped. She will only be raped after saying no because she suspects the husband may be suffering from the HIV/AIDS virus. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to oppose the amendment."
