• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I second The Matrimonial Property Bill. In seconding it, I would like to take note of the fact that the National Assembly has noted that since time immemorial there have been very many matrimonial disputes which were settled under the Married Women Property Act of 1882. Those are the laws that we inherited from our forefathers. view
