dc.description.abstract |
The Recognition of the Customary Marriages Act and the judgment in Gumede have replaced the African customary marriage with an official statutory marriage. This does not come as a surprise. The decision followed effortlessly in the footsteps of Bhe (supra) which abolished the customary law of succession. Joining the ranks of other cases and legislation, Gumede has made a significant contribution to the development of an official customary law which is in harmony with constitutional principles. |
