    "content": "property. It clearly provides for handling of polygamous marriages. Now, since the word “polygamy” is not defined, where do we put polyandry? We know that that exists and we have had cases of people talking about it. How are we going to do that? Maybe it does not exist now but these are things that can come in the future and we can look at it. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, all the same there are some sections that are not clear and I think those will be dealt with. Sections 6(c) and (d) are not clear on what they are really indicating, but I will say as one hon. Member said that this Bill does not take into consideration the welfare of children. When we are looking at property and we call it matrimonial property, I think it is important to look at a way of protecting children. Once we alienate the property and say it belongs to one spouse it is important to know that if a marriage is breaking, where are the children and when we are alienating property how do they get protected? I think that needs to be looked at. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with that, I beg to support."
