    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know I have very little time but I will try to make it as brief as possible so that people can understand. This is not a dog Bill. It is not a cat Bill. It is a human being Bill. It is a man’s Bill. It is a woman’s Bill. They get together in matrimony. When you look at this Bill, it talks about matrimonial property. Matrimony is a situation where two people are joined together in marriage. Property that is acquired in the course of marriage has caused wars in this world. So, when you put marriage and property together, it becomes a big issue. That is what this Bill is looking into. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I appreciate what the other hon. Members have said, but I would like the Chairman to address some issue. Section 36 of the Marriage Bill says if a lady does not have kids upon her marriage and her husband dies she is entitled to property. I know he is a bit busy right now but I think I will speak to him later about this. Other than that, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for this time and I thank everybody who has listened to this. I do not think men and women of our country understand this Bill properly. If they want to understand it, they should read it. I am sure all of them will stand in support of this Bill. Thank you. I support."
