    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to support the amendment for the following reason: Contrary to what hon. Prof. Nyikal has said, this principle is already a constitutional principle. So, what we are basically doing is to give guidance and direction on how it is done by law. Otherwise, we will be leaving it to the discretion of the courts and we will be leaving our responsibilities to the courts. The Constitution is very clear about equal rights before, during and after the dissolution of a marriage. So, really, it is not anything worth a choice; it is constitutional and that is an argument that would have done very well at the point of making the Constitution. At this point, unless he is really calling for the amendment of the Constitution, the principle is clear in the same Constitution. I support this amendment."
