    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the cost of marriage, of course, as my colleagues have said, is quite high because we are talking about 14 centres for registration of marriage in the country. We have 47 counties and that means, basically, that it is one centre for three counties. So, if a man and a woman want to get married and they have to cross two counties to get to the centre, it is very expensive. It also means they may have to stay overnight. After they get permission to start the process, they also have to give notice of a certain number of days after which they will get married. After this is done, they will go back and seek for the certificate of marriage. So, it is a very complex process and quite discouraging. If we continue this way, then marriage will become the preserve of the rich and that is not what we want."
