    "content": "To me, this appears to be legislating on courtship. If we retain this Clause, our young men and women who are courting--- Courtship need not necessarily end up in a marriage. If they break up at the courtship level, then it means that one of them may proceed to court and claim damages. This is penalizing courtship. People should be allowed to guard, guide and proceed with courtship regardless of the outcome. So, I urge hon. Members to look at this positively and realize that this is a Clause that could bring many people with broken hearts to the corridors of justice – that is the courts. I do not think we wish to legislate on courtship which is obviously different from cohabitation. So, we shall be protecting our young men and women who wish to make families from going through any manner of litigation. I beg to move and request hon. Members to support this amendment."
