Interesting chat! I had a similar conversation with my aunt, she's a divorcee. From a different perspective she advised getting married young solely because you get to experience everything at a young age and should your marriage fail you still have 'enough' time to reconstruct your life and get back on your feet, unlike how it would've been if you married in your 30s+. Just sharing because I think it's some valuable advice

[@nolu_mqina]

Hi Siba! Definitely is valuable advice - no one gets married to get divorced but life happens and at least then you have your whole life ahead of you! You right!

[@keneiloemyoli]

I got married quite young as well. And I literally started from scratch with my hubby. Was 22 and it will be 10 years of being married in 2 months time

[@nolu_mqina]

10 years! Wow Kene bathong how has the journey been?

As a Financial Planner , I have seen cases where "waiting for big day" for too long is not a good idea. Lobola is Customary Marriage deemed in Community of property unless couple sign ANC which is advisable . you can still joint your assets via Accrual system. Some families and in-laws believe that without white wedding you are not " joint" . Other thing when you are getting engaged traditionally make sure you have full knowlwdge of your spouses history. E.g your man can have an Ex where he paid lobola and they separated without any paperwork even after 10 years that Lobola can be valid and your recent marriage invalid because Ex can be first wife customarily and in order for yours to be valid she will have to approve you as second wife.

[@thatomohale4333]

Afternoon, let's also normalise knowing that marriage is a calling, n not everyone is called into that department. As for being accountable, one can still be responsible while their not married. A marriage/relationship can break or make u.

[@nolu_mqina]

I agree with you

[@asandatshazi8685]

You gotta love Mrs B and her wisdom hle Bantu, she so young but yet so informed and matured

[@nolu_mqina]

Very matured!

[@nelzg5819]

It is not even a downfall issue ladies. Ilobola is MARRIAGE in FULL. It's automatically in community of property at that. People who are saying the white wedding is marriage do not know flour culture and our laws. Lobola is marriage in its complete form shame. Tshia may not have done mambo but for the fact that he paid everything in full AND she has moved in with the man cause he paid for everything , thats marriage umambo will not make it less of marriage. She is married in community of property unless there's a contract they signed stating the type of marriage they have entered into. U ladies are married PROPERLY so

[@nolu_mqina]

These are conversations that should be had

[@nelzg5819]

@@nolu_mqina injalo babes cause this downplaying peoples marriages is ignorance at its best. White weddings are not our thing nr one , as black people. Two customary marriage is the full package, in community futhi. So it is concerning to hear people ask , are you married or was it "just lobola". We cannot be having Just in that sentence

[@erpadministrator]

The one trick they don't understand is that customary marriage is more powerful than a civil union. For the fact that he paid lobola for you and introduced you to the family, they accepted you and you are in his life it's a big thing. It's actually very hard for a man to leave you and throw you in the streets like that. Even the court of law refers your matter customarily. He can actually never divorce you that easily. I remember my aunt was married when she was 19 around 1992. In 1996 the husband went to work in Gauteng and got into a civil marriage ( signed at home affairs) without any family knowing/ approving that. In 2020 the man died due to COVID, even his body was not released without my aunt present. That lady got nothing on the estate of that man. Yoh it was very hard. The family told her they don't even know her by name she doesn't exist and the court nullified that civil marriage contract and she was charged for fraud as she faked my aunt's signature on the BI form in hospital.

[@keneiloemyoli]

Tjo hle..things really change

[@thabithasethemane5368]

Each case is decided on its own merits. I’m a divorce attorney and I come across different cases and each case will be decided based on it’s merits, traditional customs and in line with the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act. Your man can pay a quarter/half or sum on his first visit to your family (like Tshia said) and that can be a ground for customary marriage… other factors would also be looked at like whether you stayed with him after that, if he’s financially taking care of you etc. The court can accept that as valid customary marriage even if he did not pay off the agreed lobola amount. And that marriage is in community of property.

[@nolu_mqina]

Thabi I feel like you should have been here! Because we are not well informed about these things we get ourselves into things we don't understand clearly.

[@lisanomafola6804]

I agree with you and most ladies be lyk no we are not married we didn't sign , how so coz this is customary marriage as long as parents accept that R350 we declare you married

[@modiehiponyane6448]

This was a good conversation. I was engaged n he paid lobola n my early 20's that relationship changed my whole 20's learnt so much about myself. Ended up not married to the man, a pastor lol i was a church girl too. Now in my mid 30's i recently got married. knowing when to walk away and when to say yes to a proposal is life altering. Pray, make that list, get wise counsel. If it is the Lord will he will marry you.

[@nomcebosokhela8279]

All customary marriages are "In Community of Property" and there is no option to make it out of Community of property. So if you register your customary union at home affairs you'll be automatically be married in Community of property. However, if you want to do a civil union, you can do an pre nuptial contract, out of Community with no accrual or out of Community with accrual. If you don't have a pre-nup then your union will automatically be in Community of property.

[@nolu_mqina]

Thank you for schooling us Nomcebo! These are the conversations that we should be having 😍😍

[@sinethembamagaga1077]

If you want to be married customarily you have to sign a pre nup before the lobola negotiations. In that way you will be married out of community of property. If a pre nup was not signed prop then you are married in community of property and no way to alter that. Unless you bring an application to the court to change your marriage regime.

[@Naizabae]

It's very important to sign that antenuptual contract before the big day, thats the advice our attorney gave us before our wedding day. Unless both parties are happy with being MICOP

[@joeydlaminivlogs]

Love how real you are about the conversation of having the wedding celebration. For me I was so happy when we he paid the lobola in full and a small traditional ceremony. I was so happy and 11 years later I don't regret that we went small than big on the day

Guys if you want to be married out of community of property please do have your contracts signed before the day of negotiations. In that way your married out of community. But if your lobola was paid you guys are fully married in community of property. If your lobola was paid already and want but didn’t sign a contract you will have to bring an application to the court asking the court to change your marriage regime.

You are right Tshiamo. I'm a lawyer dealing with divorce and that lobola letter is very important in the absence of a marriage certificate. Also, people who say they aren't married because they haven't gone to sign, ma'am you are married, in community of property and that letter will help you claim in the case of your husband/wife passing on or getting divorced.

[@uncomfortableconversations8823]

Waiting for the “big day” is actually risky cause life happens. Rather get that ANC and go sign and you can celebrate whenever. I have not had a “white wedding” but all my contracts and marriage certificates are in place. Also cultures are different, xhosa culture you cant go till certain processes are done. After the lobola a date needs to be set fir your family to officially go hand you over. You need to then be introduced to the husbands family and the ancestors utye utsiki, be dressed in the official attire abd be given a new name lasemzimi. It is a whole process which I cant elaborate on but in the xhosa culture it is necessary.

[@nolu_mqina]
