    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have passed many other Bills like the Victims Protection Bill, the Persons Deprived of Liberty Bill and the Marriage Act of 2014 which was, indeed, the highlight of the last Session. This will ensure that family rights relating to systems of marriage and the minimum marriageable age are well enshrined in the law that we passed. It was brought to this House by the Executive. That is a very important piece of legislation that has brought together or amalgamated about five or seven legislations. We now have one Marriage Bill to govern marriage in this country including the customary law which was never governed by any law. Now my friend, Hon. Ochieng, seated lonely at the back could as well enjoy the benefits of customary law. As you know, that law is practised in the country where he comes from. The law has now been codified. He does not need to wonder around."
