QUESTION 1
Read the set of facts and then answer the questions that follow:
Mr and Mrs Kumar got married while on holiday in Zanzibar in December 1982. At the time of
entering into the marriage, both were Indian citizens domiciled in England. Shortly after their
marriage, they immigrated to South Africa where Mr Kumar took up the position of managing
director for a telecommunication company in Johannesburg. Three children were born out of the
marriage and Mrs Kumar stayed at home to look after them.
The marriage relationship broke down irretrievably in 2010 and Mrs Kumar instituted divorce
proceedings against Mr Kumar in a South African High Court in the same year.
1.1
Which legal system will be found applicable to the material/inherent validity of the Kumars’
marriage according to the principles of South African private international law?
1.2
Assume for purposes of this question that Mr Kumar was already domiciled in South Africa
when they got married. Assume further that Mrs Kumar was only 17 years old at the time of
entering into the marriage and that the parties married in Zanzibar due to the fact that the legal
age for marriage in South Africa is 18.
Would your answer to Question 1.1 still be the same?
