    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am moving this amendment so that we can align it with the Constitution. As you know, Article 24 of the Constitution clearly limits the rights of individuals by exclusively excluding Islamic Law from applying to those provisions. It specifically mentions marriage, inheritance and divorce. This is equally in Article 75. So, this is to make it consistent with the Constitution. Secondly, Islamic Law is wide. So, it cannot be contained within this particular law. It is important that we exclude provisions that relate to other marriages from applying to Islamic marriages. Thank you. 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."
