"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand here to support the Bill but with some few amendments. It really hurts me when I see our male colleagues standing here and supporting some issues. You know you are looking at this Bill as if it only concerns you. It also concerns your daughters and your grandchildren who will come. I can only support this Bill if matrimonial property will be protected because women always become victims when it comes to marriage. I have heard one of my colleagues saying when you go to celebrate your marriage outside it means that you have allowed your husband to marry another wife. My question is: Why is this concerning women so much as if men are not part of marriage? We can also go and celebrate that. Even women allow other men to come on board. Why do you think women are victims of any circumstances? Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand here to oppose this because once you marry, both of you share a home. You share so many things unless when you are married and you do not produce children. Other countries have very strong laws to protect children. Sometimes you see children suffering out there and the man is there enjoying The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
