Share
Cape Town - The Cabinetâs approval of the publication of the Green Paper on Marriages for public consultation received mixed reactions from religious organisations and political parties, with the Al Jama-ah party calling it harmful, and ACDP saying it is a waste of money.
In a statement, the Cabinet spokesperson Phumla Williams said the paper seeks to work towards the development of a new Single Marriage Bill and aligns the marriage regime with the constitutional principle of equality.
âIt makes proposals on unions of people from all sexual orientations, religious and cultural persuasions. It also proposes the complete removal of child marriages in South Africa s future marriage regime.â
