Home Affairs urges customary marriage registrations before deadline.

Today is the deadline for couples to register qualifying customary marriages under a special registration period introduced by the Department of Home Affairs. The department says the process allows couples whose marriages were not registered within the required period to regularise their marital status. This includes marriages concluded before November 2000 and those entered into afterwards. Home Affairs urges affected couples to register today to avoid delays.
