At the Committee stage, they should quantify what this responsibility is. In this world, men are believed to be economically more stable than women. They say that women are housewives and they sit in the house. When you talk about responsibility, how do you want to share the buying of food, the provision of shelter and the provision of education when the man is advantaged and the lady is less advantaged?
