*Legislators call for polygamy to be made illegal to end child marriages* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?lp Legislators yesterday called on Government to outlaw polygamy to put an end to early child marriages. MDC-T chief whip in the National Assembly, Innocent Gonese, raised a point of motion during debate on Parliament to adopt and domesticate the Sadc Model Law on eradicating child marriages and protecting those already in marriage. Seconder of the motion, Paurina Mpariwa (MDC-T Mufakose) advocated for a ban of polygamy and said that the country’s marriage laws should be amended to remove sections that allow men to marry two wives. Uzumba MP, Simbaneuta Mudarikwa (Zanu PF) said poverty was the main cause of child marriages, adding development of rural areas to end poverty was one way to eradicate it. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- More: NewsDay _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
