Polygamy/Polyandry or gtfo

It's already legal, this new bill just mean that people of any or no religious orientation will be allowed polygamous marriages.

This will also allow SA to clean up an act that allows girls aged 15 to get married. They can currently even get married younger with Ministerial approval.

 

[Vrotappel]

Can't they possible annul all marriages in 2000 to 2010?

Asking for a friend.

Some people marry for the right reasons, some people have no clue why they are getting married, and most think they are getting married for the right reasons.

Yeah, people from all sides of the fence are open to a lekker traditional marriage, and die wors ending up in divorce.

Been there done that, didn't care about the badge.

Trou is nie perdekoop nie.

It is not easy. Takes commitment from both partners.

I've been told I'm ****ing odd but guess this has saved me a lot of wasted time and energy. Always told the women I went on dates with that I'm not keen on having kids or getting married within the first three dates (try to find an subtle way to slip this into the conversation), but that I am looking for a long-term partner. Pretty sure this caused some to bounce, but rather that than dealing with drama later down the line.

Thankfully my girlfriend is totally on the same page after seeing what a shambles her parents relationship turned out to be, and she works with kids so she doesn't want any of her own.

Well you will die alone anyway. It's not like you go with someone.

 

[STORMERSFAN]

Make all marriages out of community of property by default.

And make sure that the pension fund is not part of the assets!!!

Step 3: Die alone

Yes, don't leave a family behind in this f.....up country.
