摘要
这篇文章探讨了Bwanya诉高等法院院长案对南非习惯婚姻的影响。Bwanya裁定《无遗嘱继承法》和《赡养未亡配偶法》是违宪的,因为它们没有将异性生活伴侣作为其管辖范围内的受益人,这侵犯了他们的平等权和尊严权。今后,立法改革能在多大程度上改善生活伴侣的地位,首先是在2008年《国内伙伴关系法案》(Domestic Partnerships Bill of 2008)的背景下进行审查,该法案没有得到议会的支持。此后,本文讨论了承认终身伴侣关系对习惯法上的结合可能产生的影响。暂定的结论是,虽然习惯的结合可能会继续作为一种社会实践,但未来是否有法律空间让他们坚持目前的形式可能会受到质疑。Sesotho: Atekele ena e hlahloba ditlamorao tsa Bwanya诉高等法院院长bakeng sa manyalo a setso africa Borwa。遗嘱继承Bwanya o ile diha kahlolo ka霍瑞法案le维护未亡配偶法案e ne e se molaong ho丫kamoo e ileng丫hloleha ho kenyeletsa balekane英航bong bo fapaneng英航phelang mmoho e le bajamafa英航welang boikarabelong英航博纳,e愣se ileng sa hatakela tokelo丫博纳丫tekano来自勒。2008年《同居伴侣条例草案》通过,《同居伴侣条例草案》通过,《同居伴侣条例草案》通过,《同居伴侣条例草案》通过。Kamora moo,这是一种叫做“卡莫拉莫”的东西,是一种叫做“卡莫拉莫”的东西,一种叫做“卡莫拉莫”的东西,一种叫做“卡莫拉莫”的东西,一种叫做“卡莫拉莫”的东西,一种叫做“卡莫拉莫”的东西。我知道我的名字是什么,我的名字是什么,我的名字是什么,我的名字是什么,我的名字是什么,我的名字是什么,我的名字是什么,我的名字是什么,我的名字是什么,我的名字是什么,我的名字是什么,我的名字。
What are the implications of Bwanya v The Master of the High Court for customary law?
This contribution examines the implications of Bwanya v The Master of the High Court for customary unions in South Africa. Bwanya ruled that the Intestate Succession Act and the Maintenance of Surviving Spouses Act were unconstitutional to the extent that they failed to include heterosexual life partners as beneficiaries falling within their remit, which violated their right to equality and to dignity. The extent to which life partners’ positions may henceforth be ameliorated by legislative reform is first examined against the backdrop of the Domestic Partnerships Bill of 2008, which did not muster support in Parliament. Thereafter, the article discusses what implications the recognition of life partnerships may hold for customary law unions. It is tentatively concluded that it may be that whilst customary unions may continue as a social practice, it may be questioned whether in future there is legal space for them to persist in their current form.
