    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill. I will not dwell much on it since a lot has been said. However, this piece of legislation has got a lot of things that really were long overdue. First of all, there is the issue of consolidating all the acts as they are right now. My colleagues have mentioned and I think there are about seven acts that relate to the institution of marriage in our current statute. This Bill is trying to consolidate all of them into one legislative framework. I think the current scattered pieces of legislation have really occasioned a lot of complicity, unpredictability and also inefficiencies to various stakeholders. These are some of the reasons why, as my colleagues have said, we are finding many members of families in courts. Therefore, there is need to make it very clear and simple as proposed in this Bill for all the stakeholders to be able to understand and to follow it. By this I mean the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
