We have also now included civil partnership; they are now recognised in this Act. What used to happen on dissolution of this partnership, the other partner was losing out; so it is now recognised as a marriage for purposes of dissolution of property when the partnership is dissolved. Ziyambi also added that the Marriages Amendment Bill stipulates that the age of marriages should be 18 years and above. This, as he noted, is in resonance with a Constitutional Court ruling. He further said: > The other major highlights is that it clearly outlaws the pledging of children by anyone. This has clearly been put into the law. We have also consolidated the marriage law, we no longer have two marriage laws but it will state that the first one is the civil marriage and another one is customary marriage. *Related:* Cabinet Approves Law To Ban Homosexual Marriages Government Urged To Align Laws On Child Marriages With The Constitution Zimunya Man Remanded For Forced Marriage And Rape More: The Chronicle _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
