An expert opinion:
A proposal by the Department of Home Affairs has recently sparked major debate and even creating a rift in parliament between DA MP Natasha Mazzone and Al Jama-ah party leader Ganief Hendricks.
The new green paper for the Marriage Act was issued that not only creates legislation that would legally recognise Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and Rastafarian marriages, but will also legalise polyandry.
