    "content": "Issues to deal with land laws sometimes can be very complicated and it is necessary also that we have a wholesome view. You can have a property and a spouse can obtain interest by virtue of Company Law that we passed the other day. A spouse can have a property by virtue of what used to be Transfer of Property Law or because of laws we have inherited. That is because under the Judicature Act, we have received laws that we are using. So, this is a technical area. Yes, I can see my sister is struggling that we should have Matrimonial Property Act there, but she is actually defeating and limiting herself. A spouse can have rights from so many other laws that come to be in the way in which the court will construe that particular matter. When you say subject to any written law, it opens the gate to any written law that will be admissible in this country. If a spouse, therefore, has an interest in that matter, then it should be dealt with by Matrimonial Property Act. In other words, therefore, the property becomes a matrimonial property. If my sister was well persuaded, the amendment I see by the Chair is much better, to me, than if we left it without being very specific."
