    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Clause 7(3)(c), (d) and (e) are matters that we need to have a closer look at. In paragraph (c), we are talking about seduction or pregnancy of an unmarried woman or girl, but we are not talking about the age; we are not talking about defilement. We are saying that if somebody seduces and impregnates a woman, then situationally, it is an offence. In my thinking, that is wrong. I would want to bring an amendment to delete paragraph (c), because it is anybody’s right to seduce a woman. Even women seduce men. With regard to paragraph (d), on the issue of enticement of, or engaging in adultery with, a married person, these are matters of right. Anybody claiming adultery under the African customary law would be out of their mind because there is no such thing as adultery under the African customary law, as we know it. This is a section that requires an amendment, which I will bring to the House at the appropriate time."
