The Department of Home Affairs has invited public comment on the Draft Marriage Bill 2022.

Key Points: 
  • The Department of Home Affairs has invited public comment on the Draft Marriage Bill 2022.
  • The bill amends some marriage laws, and prescribes what’s required for marriages to be considered valid, forms of registration, and the property consequences of marriage.
  • While it is innovative for bringing all forms of intimate partnerships under one piece of legislation, the bill raises thorny questions.

The thorny issues

    • A couple could live together for reasons such as exorbitant rent, distance to workplaces, and prohibitively high bridewealth (ilobolo).
    • The bill doesn’t recognise such intimate partnerships, which the Constitutional Court has accorded the same legal status as formal marriages.
    • As the court has acknowledged, unmarried partnerships have serious implications for finances, human dignity, property ownership and child custody.
    • This could affect inheritance, property and child custody because legal systems may govern these issues differently.
    • If the thorny issues in the bill are not addressed, the eventual legislation could be challenged as discriminatory.

A balancing act

    • The advisory committee that worked on the Single Marriage Statute (Project 144) proposed two options for regulating life partnerships in its discussion paper.
    • These are a Protected Relationships Bill and a Recognition and Registration of Marriages and Life Partnerships Bill.
