    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, yes, even when there is consensus, under the customary law, it is not the woman who is compensated. It is the father. So even when I have consented and I am pregnant, I should be compensated and not my father, under customary law. I think when magistrates are dealing with matters like these, they must be alive to issues of human rights. Another issue that I am very concerned about is the reference to sub-clause (3)(e)(ii) that talks about adoption and legitimacy. Unless I am corrected, legitimacy probably has reference to wedlock, because it is a status issue. Under the Constitution, being born within or without wedlock is no longer applicable. So, even making reference to legitimacy is really irrelevant for purposes of the current Constitution. I would like to ask the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to look at that. I can see that my time is up."
