Episode notes
Register Customary Marriages Promptly
- Register customary marriages with Home Affairs within three months to avoid legal disputes over status and assets.
- Collect and keep all evidence (books, photos, messages) since courts accept varied proof of celebration or intent.
Cohabitation Can Create Financial Claims
- Cohabitation doesn't automatically become a marriage but can create a universal partnership claim for asset sharing.
- Courts may order significant asset transfers (e.g., percentage of assets) to achieve fairness after long cohabitation.
Sign Antenuptial Contracts Before Lobola
- Conclude an antenuptial contract before Lobola negotiations if you want marriage out of community of property.
- If already married in community, consult lawyers; changing regimes requires divorce or a lengthy legal process.
