Lobola Payment Still a Requirement for Zimbabwe Customary Marriages

December 5, 2023

Lobola Payment Still a Requirement for Zimbabwe Customary Marriages

An online fact-checking platform, asserts that lobola payment remains a prerequisite for registering a customary marriage under the recently enacted Marriages Act, which consolidates the Civil Marriages Act and the Customary Marriages Act.

Key Points:

Lobola payment is not obligatory for civil marriages but is mandatory for customary law marriages.
The Marriages Act of 2022, despite its recent gazetting, did not annul the requirement for lobola payment in customary marriages.
Section 16 of the Marriages Act addresses the official registration of a customary law marriage, emphasizing that marriage officers must inquire about lobola payment during the registration process.
Marriage officers are tasked with verifying whether lobola has been paid before officially registering a customary marriage.
A civil marriage is monogamous, exclusively uniting two individuals, while a customary law marriage can be polygamous or potentially polygamous based on the customary law of the people involved.
