, Question 1: Marriage, Divorce, and Domicile in Private International Law
1.1 Legal System Governing Formal Validity
The legal system that governs the formal validity of John and Mary’s marriage in South
African private international law is determined by the lex loci celebrationis (law of the
place where the marriage was celebrated). Since the marriage took place in Hawaii,
Hawaiian law would apply to the formal validity of their marriage (Forsyth, 2012).
1.2 Determination of John’s Domicile at Marriage
To determine John’s domicile in December 1983, a South African court would evaluate
his intention and factual residence based on animus manendi (intention to remain) and
factum (physical presence). Although John was working in New York, he had initiated
negotiations for a permanent position in South Africa. If these negotiations were
advanced enough to establish a clear intention to settle permanently in South Africa, the
court might consider South Africa as his domicile of choice at the time of marriage
(Forsyth, 2012).
1.3 Prospects for Applying South African Law to Proprietary Consequences
Mary’s legal team may argue that South African law should govern the proprietary
consequences of the marriage as South Africa was the intended matrimonial domicile.
In Sadiku v Sadiku 30498/06 (unreported), the court considered the intended domicile
when determining proprietary rights, recognizing that if parties relocate with the intention
to establish a permanent home, the laws of that new domicile may apply. Further, Neels
and Wethmar-Lemmer (2008) discuss that matrimonial property regimes should reflect
the domicile of the parties at the time of marriage, where intent and permanent
settlement are determinative factors.
This argument has moderate prospects of success. South African courts would weigh
both parties' intent at the time of marriage and the subsequent domicile. If intent to
permanently settle in South Africa can be substantiated, the court may apply South
African matrimonial property law.
