The Customary Marriage and Divorce (Registration) (Amendment) Law

This amends the previous law to make the registration of customary marriages optional rather than mandatory. The law also makes optional notification to the state of the dissolution of customary marriages registered under the act. The amendment mandates that a marriage performed under customary law under the act will follow customary intestate succession law granting that the reviewing court or tribunal is satisfied by oral or documentary evidence that the deceased and surviving spouse had been validly married under customary law.
