    "With respect to the resolution of disputes under family law, courts and customary
    authorities are competent to hear such cases. Currently, there is no legislation on family
    law. All attempts at codification from 1976 onwards have been unsuccessful. The role
    played by husbands is a factor that greatly influences decisions about the spacing of
    children; 18 per cent of women involved in decision-making use a means of contraception,
    as compared to 7 per cent of those who have no say in decisions affecting the couple.
    Women are generally responsible for children’s education and care, although parental
    authority is exercised by men. [Para 108]"
