    "content": "We have made several amendments to this Bill, so that we can make it relevant and contextualize the Kenyan situation. As the Chair knows, there has been a lot of contention as to which properties belong to who, particularly in cases of those spouses who come to marriage with properties from outside. This Bill now gives opportunities to those people who are courting to enter into agreements as provided in Clause 6(3) before they enter into marriage. They should say which properties belong to which party. That is written in the form of an agreement that is thereafter kept, so that in the event of a dispute it is known who owns which property. Secondly, you know many of us have girls and we are attached to them. When we marry off our girls, we give them inheritance. We do not want the inheritance to be part of the matrimonial properties that will be shared in the event that they disagree. We want our girls to walk away with what we have given them. That has been made very clear in this Bill."
