    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we have severely amended Clause 6(1)(c) by including the words “jointly owned” even when we know that in our country a lot of properties are not registered in the joint names of the spouses. It then means that this law needs Clause (d). It is very sad that some Members of the Committee who had opportunity to canvass these matters in the Committee--- We spent a lot of time in the Committee on these matters. I am compelled to oppose the deletion of (d) and urge this House that we keep this clause because it is important. We are trying to manage families. We are trying to manage sharing of matrimonial property in a civil way. We are trying to avoid violence as a way of managing. Kindly, let the Members allow us to keep Clause (d). Let us not delete it as has been proposed by the Chair. This is because Clause (c) has already taken care of the interests of both parties. I oppose the deletion of (d) and urge that we keep that particular clause."
