"content": "Hon. Speaker, I would like to cite a small example. In Malawi, they have brought legislation that changes people’s attitude to domestic violence. I would also like to add that this Bill is very timely. Article 45(2) says that every adult has a right to marry a person of the opposite sex, based on free consent. I always feel that human beings take undue advantage of people who are in their families. This is because free consent means consent inclusive of the whole family unit. So, with that I would like to commend hon. Nyokabi and the whole team for bringing up this Bill. I must say that I feel very proud to be part of the 11th Parliament which is making such a bold step to introduce the Protection Against Domestic Violence Bill in the House. Thank you very much."
