Marriage Laws in South Africa to be revised / expanded upon in 2021 …

The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) is developing policy which will lay the basis for drafting new legislation relating to marriage. The policy will be based on Constitutional values and modern social dynamics. Some key changes to be introduced will be:

Strict rules around the age of marriage;

Conclusion of legal marriages by different religious and cultural persuasions.

Changes to marriage law will naturally impact on other areas of law such as Divorce and the Administration of Estates.

According to a Departmental Circular, officials at the Deeds Office are required to resume work effective from 13th May 2020.

Deeds Office Update …

The King William’s Town Deeds Office is still closed.

We understand that the office needs to be deep-cleaned which process it is hoped will completed by the end of this
week or early next week following which a skeleton staff will return to work - we anticipate that the office will open shortly thereafter. We are primed to “fly out of the
starting blocks” once the Deeds Office re-opens to facilitate
the registration of transfers as quickly as possible.

We shall provide further updates when more information becomes available.
