Battle of two wives: SCA rules ID no proof of marriage

MARITAL STATUS

- SINENHLANHLA MASILELA sinenhlanhla.masilela@iol.co.za

THE Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) has ruled that an identity document (ID) is not a substitute for a marriage certificate and does not independently validate a marriage.

The ruling comes from a contentious battle between two widows over the marital status of their late husband, Ndavheleseni Lazarus Tshivhase.

The saga unfolded when Azwihang-wisi Francinah Tshivhase, claiming to be the first wife, sought a court order to affirm her marriage to the deceased under customary law, highlighting that they had married in 1966 and remained wed at the time of his death.

Meanwhile, the second wife, Thim-biluni Elizabeth Tshivhase, contended that her civil marriage to the deceased, which took place in 1977, should be recognised as the lawful union.
