This is just feminism. They want to get property. Now men will prefer to go for prostitutes or Gay relationships.

If this is true. It just shows the poor calibre of people we elect. It is clear this Bill still perpetuates child sex abuse. There is a difference between banning marriage to under 18s and sleeping with them. They can still sleep with older people without getting married. The law needs to be very clear and in my opinion as follows; 1. Ban adults from having sex with children under the age of 16 or 18. We can decide which age we want to adopt. 2.

I would have loved the law to bar impregnating young girls (under 18s) and require those who impregnate a single woman to be forced to look after the mother and the child until the child reaches 18 years old.

Even me got surprised why women amalulutila at the passing of bill. We should make a difference between gender activism and ‘femininism’. Feminists push for laws to punish men and grab all property after a divorce.

Stupid law? Why did the MPS tackle the fundamental reasons why young girls marry at that age? Do they think the LAW will stop these under aged people from screwing or getting fucked by adults? By the way what is marriage? I think the law should have been encouraging marriage i9nstead of being against marriage. Stupid LAW.

You seem to miss the point. While the constitution still allows children of 15 years to be married with consent from their parents, the situation before was that all children could be married after reaching 16. Currently children with will only be married after the age of 18 and only 16 with the consent of parents. This will still save the lives of other children at the moment but we still have a gap.

We will then propose an amendment to the constitution which has to be confirmed by two thirds majority in the chamber or through a referendum

Sick. Unless your size can not satisfy a fully grown woman then we understand yr predicament. A girl of 15 is a child. Seek deliverance.
