A recent discussion on Drive 959 tackled the complex and often challenging legal landscape surrounding customary marriages in South Africa, particularly focusing on how to establish their validity and, crucially, how to protect assets should the union dissolve.
Despite being officially recognised under South African law, many couples encounter significant legal hurdles when their customary marriage comes to an end.
Attorney Melusi Xulu of Donda Attorneys joined the conversation to break down the essentials.
He detailed the critical steps needed to ensure a customary marriage is legally sound, including adherence to cultural requirements and the essential step of registration.
The core focus of the conversation was to equip listeners with the knowledge to avoid the difficulty of proving the marriage in court after a separation.
Xulu emphasised that proper legal and cultural compliance from the outset is the strongest safeguard.
