Maria Petrus and John Paulus met at high school in Windhoek, Namibia in
1979. They got married in December 1982 while on holiday in Botswana. At
the time of entering into the marriage, both Mr and Mrs Paulus were
Namibian citizens and Mrs Paulus was domiciled in Namibia as well. Mr
Paulus established a domicile of choice in Sheffield, England in 1980 when he
assumed permanent employment at a steel factory. He was domiciled there
at the time of concluding his marriage to Maria as well. Mr and Mrs Paulus
stayed in England until 1990 when Mr Paulus obtained a full-time position at
a factory in Rosslyn, South Africa. In January 1991, the parties immigrated to
Pretoria, South Africa, and established a domicile there. Two children were
born from the marriage and Mrs Paulus stayed at home to look after them. In
2017, Mrs Paulus instituted divorce proceedings against Mr Paulus in the
North Gauteng High Court. 1.1 Which legal system applies to the inherent
validity of the parties’ marriage in terms of the South African rules of private
international law? (2) 1.2 Assume that Maria was 17 years old at the time of
entering into the marriage and that the parties went to Botswana to evade
the rules of Namibian law that required parental consent for a minor to enter
into a marriage. Would your answer to question 1.1 be the same? (5) Assume
for purposes of questions 1.3 – 1.6 that the marriage is found to be
inherently and formally valid. 1.3 Assume that redistribution of assets is
classified as a divorce matter in English law and that divorce matters are
also governed by the law of the forum in terms of the rules of English private
international law. As you know, redistribution is classified as a proprietary
consequence of marriage under South African law. Which legal system
should be applied to the redistribution of the parties’ assets if via media
classification is followed? (Note: you have to explain what via media
