Marriage Bill, 1985: First Stage.
I move that leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to establish a National Marriage Advisory Council and to provide for the more effective prevention and resolution of matrimonial disharmony and to provide pursuant to the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution, in limited circumstances, for the grant of orders of dissolution of marriage and to provide for determination of the rights and obligations of parties to marriages in respect of which separation orders or dissolution orders are made.
