    "content": "girl gets married when she is below the age of 18 years and starts having children, even the medical personnel, including Prof. Nyikal here will tell you that the life of that girl will be in danger. To me, this is a wonderful legislation that protects the girl-child. The last point that is also very attractive in this Bill is the dissolution of a marriage. We are told today that there is too much violence in marriage to the extent that couples kill one another and to the extent that the children also die. Many a time we have been told that when marriages become too violent, it is important that you leave because you do not know when you will die in it. Most of us have been trained that when you notice that marriage is too violent, your life is threatened. The law now recognizes the grounds for divorce or dissolution, like adultery, cruelty, domestic violence and desertion from one partner. Therefore, the ground for divorce is for a good reason that your health is important. One of the grounds which are very difficult to prove always is adultery. That is very difficult to prove, but it is good that it is there because then, in the society we are living today, where we have diseases that come because of adultery, we will protect many families. With those remarks, I support this Bill and it is a good thing for women as well. Thank you."
