    "content": "the family unit is a sensitive institution. It would be extremely unfair for one of the spouses to go out and get mortgage or lease out property which is a matrimonial home. This is why the consent is necessary to enable the parties live in harmony. The other provision is that the Chief Justice has the capacity to make regulations under Section 18. The Civil Procedure Act under Section 81 allows the Chief Justice to make rules and regulations that determine the practice or procedure under this Act. The importance of that provision is that where there--- Not everything can be put into a Bill or an Act. There are some regulations, for example, how a case should be taken to court, the process to be followed, the court in which the matter will be filed and so on. Those rules, according to this Bill can be written by the Chief Justice under Section 81 of the Civil Procedure Act to give effect to the Matrimonial Property Bill. Also, upon this Bill coming into effect, the Married Women Property Act of 1882 will now cease to operate in the laws of the land. It is my humble submission that this is a good Bill. I seek that the House supports it. It is high time we moved to the next level. I, therefore, second this Bill."
