Mr. Deputy Speaker : “Any one or more” is the usual expression. Is it not?
Shri J. R. Kapoor : I agree, Sir, to your suggestion. This exhausts my amendments to amendment No. 3 of Dr. Ambedkar.
There is one amendment which I seek to move to my own previous amendment moved during the last session.
I beg to move :
(x) In the amendment proposed by me, printed as No. 93, to the proposed clause 2, add the proviso :
“Provided that the provisions of Part II relating to marriage and divorce shall apply to such declarant only when both the bride and bridegroom before the marriage, or both the husband and wife after the marriage, make such a declaration.”
Mr. Deputy Speaker : A similiar amendment has already been moved.
