| Message | NP: you do realize that ".....of people to marry as they please." that this specially a -male's- right. The proposed legislation is meant to protect women's rights as well. May be the NP is willing to reconsider their stance on this issue ? |

| Message | MDU: We don't realize that. How is "people to marry as they please" a male's right more than a female's right? Are females not "people" too? We think so. We will not support the prosecution of polygamy. By the way, women may start polygamous marriages too... This is one thing that is none of the business of Government. But national service is the business of the Government. |
