    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Those who oppose this Bill have been depicted by the media and publicly over radio stations and wherever as \"rape mongers\" and rapist lovers, for we support rape, if we oppose this Bill. That is how it has been packaged. That is why all men have fled and gone into holes. This is because if you oppose this Bill, they will flash your photo and say: \"This is a rapist supporter\". They have brought this Bill as if it is so urgent that unless it is brought today with quick amendments over the weekend, this country is coming down. That is how it has been packaged. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, but let us just examine some of the things that the Mover has put together. Is it true really that this country does not have a sexual offences law? Is it true that today we are experiencing so many rape cases because there is no law to deal with it? If that was true, then I dismiss it through the Penal Code. This is because the Penal Code does not call April 27, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 789 them sexual offences but offences against morality. However, which ones are they? In fact, offences against morality on Section 139 of the Penal Code starts with the definition of rape and states:- \"Any person who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a woman or girl without her consent or with her consent, if the consent is obtained by force or by the use of threats or intimidation of any kind or by fear of bodily harm or by use of false representation as to the nature of the act or in the case of a married woman by impersonating the husband, is guilty of a felony termed rape\". What definition can be more exhaustive than the definition we have in the Penal Code?"
