    "content": "What I am saying here is that all of us are here to protect our people. Hon. Temporary Deputy, I am saying that we should also look behind and think of our daughters who will be treated the way you are treating people here. All the time, women are victims. They have no property. You marry and after sometime, you think that you can divorce that woman and you go and look for another person. We are going to agree, if that is the case, that the day you marry, whether you marry one day and one night, that is a wife. If you divorce her the second day, she will be entitled to your property because you have shared a lot. I beg you to support this Bill and know that it is going to be there for years. It has become so difficult when it comes to the issue of women. It is like women are second class and that is the way you look at them. Some of the women even take care of the families. So, I am here to support this Bill and say that women should not be victims. I am not going to support it unless some amendments are done on it, which will favor women. It is favoring men only. It is like women do not exist and we are only there to bear children and nothing else. We do not play any part in these families. I disagree with the Bill."
