    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am opposed to that amendment in the sense that when you put the words, “jointly owned” this property is not registered in the joint names of the parties and so it will not be able to form matrimonial property. What we are trying to protect is the family unit. We do not live in utopia. We know that in our society it is very rare for a woman to be registered jointly in a property that is owned by the family. We have had situations where it is the man only who is registered as the owner of the property. So, if we put the word “jointly” in this legislation then it means that any property acquired in the course of the marriage will not form part of the property that will be divided in the event of a divorce.
