If God wanted you to be in a monogamous marriage he should have created you with one eye- MP says

Let us not deviate from what Hon. Gonese has said. That is what the singer Paul Matavire said when he sang about the marriages of people who are in love.  Hon. Gonese is saying we need to protect our children.  They need to be happily married because they will be married at the right time because they will marry at the right time when they are mature.  Our biggest problem though is to fight poverty.

In some areas, we have traditional healers (tsikamutandas) who go around assisting people who have problems.  They say the payment for the offence committed by the particular family is to marry off a young girl.  I am saying this is taboo and should be stopped.

Hon. Gonese, you are a learned man and a lawyer.  Thank you for the enlightenment.  I urge you to be very prayerful.  You will also be given a vision which will tell you what will happen.  I am also urging you, since you have the spirit in you and the guidance; please go and found a church.  Your wife will be your deputy and I know you will be the light in darkness and there will be progress.

I would like to thank all the Hon. Members who supported this motion.  This is an essential and developmental motion.  I urge all Hon. Members that when you leave this place after adjournment, please do address people concerning the evil of early marriages whenever you get the opportunity.  Talk about the advantages of letting the children grow.  I thank you.
