Frequently Asked Questions
What are the implications of failure to register a customary marriage?
A marriage that has not been registered with the Department of Home Affairs remains valid. In other words, failure to register a customary marriage does not affect the validity thereof. Registration is, however, advisable as a marriage certificate gets issued once it is registered. So, to prove the existence of a marriage, you need not rely on witnesses/evidence but the marriage certificate itself because witnesses may not be available when you need them.
What can I do if my relative has had his bail application refused in court?
Rather involve us from the beginning and increase your chances of getting bail than wait until this sad moment.
The most cost-effective way of dealing with this situation is to bring a bail application on new facts. A bail application on new facts entails going back to the same court that has refused bail & adduce evidence on facts which are new & did not exist at the time of the initial application
The second option is to bring an appeal or review against the order refusing him bail at the High Court. This is more expensive as the scale of the High Court is higher than that of the Magistrate’s Court. Furthermore, the record of the Magistrate’s Court will have to be transcribed and this contributes significantly to the costs.
