and explanations.
Before his death Z married his wife R by customary rites. After
Z's death R went to register their customary marriage at the
Home Affairs Department, only to be told, to her consternation,
that P had already been to that office to register hers with the
deceased. R knew that P did what she did in order to claim Z's
estate. (i) Comment on whether Z could possibly have had two
valid customary marriages, referring to any law/legislation
recognising it. (5) (ii) What would your comment be if R says Z
never told her about his customary marriage with P and that R
and Z subscribed to Tsonga customary law which does not
recognise Z's further customary marriage, contracted without
her consent as Z's senior wife. (5) (iii) What would be the
position if K, being Z's father, says he does not recognise both R
and P as his son's (Z's) widows as he never negotiated these
marriages. (5) (iv) Would R's and P's situation be any different if
K's issue with their customary marriages was their invalidity for
no-observance of the necessary imvume/ukumekeza traditions.
(5) (v) What would be the position if Q appeared claiming to be
the only descendant of Z by an earlier relationship. Q discredits
R's customary marriage because her lobolo was never paid in
full; and P's one because she was never delivered to the
groom's family.
