Ziyambi Ziyambi Defends The Proposed Civil Partnership Clause In The Marriage Bill, Says It Was Done In Good Faith

Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi today defended the Civil partnership clause in the proposed marriage bill and said it was done in good faith, Open Parly reports.

In defending the clause that the publication called the small house clause, Ziyambi Ziyambi said:

It was an attempt in good faith to help those women stranded between marriage and non-marriage because their partners, for whatever reason, could not or would not go through the formality of registering their union as a marriage.

Compassion with women in those predicaments does not have to equate to hostility to the marriage institution.
