REVIEW OF MARRIAGE LAWS

Sunday Chronicle 23 August 2015

The Constitutional and Law Commission proposes immediate review of laws concerning marriage, adoption and matrimonial issues. 

Particular legislations under scrutiny for review are the Marriage Act (1963) Adoption Act (1963) and Matrimonial Act (1968). Dr Eric Kwa said that as developmental changes are rapidly affecting Papua New Guinea, several laws are outdated and need immediate review.

These legislations are important because they protect children, women and family units from abuse, torture or negligence. These laws need amendment so that all marriages, adoption of children and family units are legally established.

These laws were formulated in the colonial era and reflected many family values and ideas of that time. We have to amend these laws to reflect changes that are taking place.

Comment: This newspaper report gives a chill to the bone. There are many changes that are taking place across the world that are alien to the PNG family.

There is same sex marriage and adoption of children by foreign gays, lesbians and paedophiles, Surely these are not changes that can be made without legislation.

We need to be guided by recent legislations made by the Russian parliament or Duma. Adoption of children by foreigners is banned.

There is always the chance that small children will be adopted by paedophiles and abused for sex. Promotion of gay and lesbian sex is banned to underage children in Russia. That will limit the changes to school curriculum.

The benefit of this review is that it will bring the foreign rock spiders out to lobby for changes to the legislations. AIDS Holistics will be waiting for any media comment from foreign paedophiles.
