QUESTION 1
1.1.
In terms of South African private international law, the legal system that applies to the formal validity
of a marriage is determined by the law of the place where the marriage was celebrated (lex loci
celebrationis). Since John and Mary were married in Hawaii in December 1983, the law of Hawaii
would govern the formal validity of their marriage. Thus, Hawaiian law applies to the formal
requirements of their marriage, such as whether the marriage was properly solemnized according
to the legal standards in Hawaii.
