    "content": "does not understand what the law says, and does not know that we had five different laws of marriage, the following day, the poor woman sees her husband come home with another woman and she accepts; just because she does not know what the law says. Women are meant to speak out but they suffer in silence and any time we speak out we are victimised. I can talk of my own recent experience in Japan. When I reported to the Committee, there were complaints as to why I had done that. This was despite that I know there is a law that we have to go through certain stages until we get to the point where, if it is not handled by the Committee, then it can be taken further. It was not my intention to take it to the media. I did not take it to the media. We passed the Victim Protection Bill, which means I am supposed to decide on what action to take if I am a victim. I am the one who is at liberty to decide whether to report to the police or to the media. So, whoever took it to the media was malicious and you can tell it. At the point when the media reported this story, you saw the photo that they used to put their headlines. That is not my official photo. That is not how I dress when I come to Parliament."
