    "content": "If you look at the other gist of this Bill, it wants to allow magistrates to determine labour, environment and land matters. Previously, this was the purview of the High Court. On matters of labour, environment and land, we used to have many litigants unable to come to the High Court because the High Courts were too congested. But now, litigants will be able to ventilate their matters in the subordinate courts now. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill also clearly lays out the administration of those courts. The courts have an administrator who is in charge of the registry and keeping of records and, therefore, it is an efficient court. The killer point of this Bill is on matters of succession because one does not need to go to the High Court. They can ventilate their issues in subordinate courts but, I am a bit worried about Section 3(c) of this Bill. It appears to talk about seduction or pregnancy of unmarried woman or girl. Clause 7(3)(d) talks about enticement of, or adultery with, a married person. In my school of thought, in fact in law, I do not think our Penal Code has any offence known as “adultery”."
