    "content": "Secondly, shun the propaganda about this Bill. There are certain things I am hearing which are not in this Bill. There is nothing about marital rape in this Bill. I am a Christian and 1 Corinthians 7:14 tells me that, that does not exist. It says that wife, your body belongs to your husband and husband, your body belongs to your wife. Do not deny one another. I have a Bible here. I am prepared. Hon. Nyenze was misquoting the Bible. The 1 Corinthians 7, verse 4 says:- “The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, so that you may give yourself to fasting and prayer”. Not headaches, but fasting and prayer. “…and come together again, so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self control”. I know this House is sovereign and it expresses the sovereign will of the people, but we cannot amend the Bible. That is why I am sure and I have gone through the Bill, there is no such provision. I would like to see us as the men standing strong. It does not make you weak as a man if you stand in support of such legislation that protects the vulnerable. You come out stronger because that person who you think is just your wife is someone’s daughter. Your wife is somebody’s mother; your child’s mother. We have seen in certain counties men bear the brunt. There is a man I met yesterday---"
