摘要

本文调查了《习惯式婚姻认可法》(以下简称《习惯式婚姻认可法》)第 4(1)条的遵守情况。该条规定,习俗婚姻中的配偶必须在规定期限内进行婚姻登记。从研究结果来看,在习俗婚姻缔结后的九十天内进行登记的义务显然没有得到履行。此外,大多数登记的习俗婚姻都是在结婚一年后才登记的。最令人担忧的是,登记的习俗婚姻数量正在迅速减少。以下因素被认为是不履行习俗婚姻登记义务的原因:不遵守登记期限;缺乏登记习俗婚姻的文化;在负责登记习俗婚姻的一方或多方之间存 在矛盾;没有区分登记(习俗)婚姻和举行婚礼(公证)婚姻的程序;在处理未登记问题时采用非惩罚性方法;法律起草不完善;缺乏对《习俗婚姻法》所赋予的权利和利益的了解;很少有机会进入民政事务部办公室并获得服务;存在其他婚姻(umfazi we phepha)以及对公证结婚的高度重视。研究显示了习俗婚姻登记的好处以及不登记带来的不利影响。根据发现的问题和不利影响,提出了关于履行习俗婚姻登记义务的建议。这些建议包括营造习惯式婚姻登记文化、修订《婚姻登记法》及其条例的某些部分、加强登记程序、提高识字率以及开展与教育有关的活动。

Improving Compliance with Section 4(1) of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act 120 of 1998: Registration of Customary Marriages
The article investigates the compliance with section 4(1) of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act (hereafter the RCMA). The section compels spouses in customary marriages to register their marriages within a stipulated period. From the research, it is clear that there is non-compliance with the duty to register customary marriages within the prescribed ninety days after their conclusion. Furthermore, most registered customary marriages are registered only after their first year of existence. Most alarming is that the number of registered customary marriages is rapidly declining. The following factors were found to be reasons why there is non-compliance with the duty to register customary marriages: non-adherence to registration deadlines; absence of a culture of registering customary marriages; contradictions as to the party or parties responsible for registering a customary marriage; lack of a distinction between the process of registering (customary) and solemnising (civil) marriages; the adoption of a non-punitive approach in dealing with the non-registration; poor legislative drafting; the absence of knowledge of the rights and benefits afforded through the RCMA; minimal access to DHA offices and service delivery; the existence of other marriages (umfazi we phepha) and a high regard for civil marriages. The research shows the benefits of registering customary marriages and the adverse effects associated with non-registration. Based on the identified problems and adverse effects, recommendations are made on achieving compliance with the duty to register customary marriages. These recommendations include creating a culture of registering customary marriages, amending certain portions of the RCMA and its regulations, enhancing the registration process, improving literacy and embarking on education-related initiatives.

期刊介绍: PELJ/PER publishes contributions relevant to development in the South African constitutional state. This means that most contributions will concern some aspect of constitutionalism or legal development. The fact that the South African constitutional state is the focus, does not limit the content of PELJ/PER to the South African legal system, since development law and constitutionalism are excellent themes for comparative work. Contributions on any aspect or discipline of the law from any part of the world are thus welcomed.
