摘要
这篇文章是为了感谢丘马·希蒙加的作品对我的研究以及其他许多学术作家的研究产生的影响。它首先讨论了Himonga对更好地理解考虑到改革后的法律适用的社区的生活现实的重要性的贡献。此后,本文对1998年第120号《承认习惯法》的实际执行情况进行了评估,以解决习惯法与习惯法婚姻背景下妇女权利之间的冲突。本文通过分析法院的法理学来考虑Himonga对更好地理解这一现实的贡献。本文的最后一部分表明,Himonga的论点具有普遍的吸引力,她在其中警告将改革后的法律减少为“纸面法律”的危险。特别是,我认为她的论文为解决习惯规则和实践与人权之间冲突的最佳实践方法提供了有用的见解。南非荷兰语:Hierdie artikel正在评估van Chuma Himonga的工作,包括我在荷兰语和荷兰语的对话中所做的工作。他说:“这是我第一次见到他,他说:‘我第一次见到你,我第一次见到你,我第一次见到你,我第一次见到你。’”Daarna评估器模具工件模具实践van die Wet op Erkenning van Gebruiklike Huwelike 120 van 1998年从die konflik tussen gewoontereg在die konteks van Gebruiklike Huwelike hanteer。我想说的是,我想说的是,我想说的是,我想说的是,我想说的是,我想说的是,我想说的是,我想说的是,我想说的是,我想说的是。她说:“最后一篇论文的题目是‘纸上的‘纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’纸上的’。”研究人员在研究中发现,在营养营养方面,研究人员在研究中发现了一些有益的营养成分,如konflik tussen gewoonteregreëls和其他营养成分。
Chuma Himonga’s scholarship on the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act 120 of 1998
This article is an appreciation of the influence of Chuma Himonga’s work on my research and that of many other academic writers. It begins with a discussion of Himonga’s contribution to a greater understanding of the importance of taking into account the lived realities of the communities to which reformed laws apply. Thereafter, the article takes stock of the practical implementation of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act 120 of 1998 in addressing the conflicts between customary laws and women’s rights in a customary marriage context. The article considers Himonga’s contribution to the greater understanding of this reality by analysing the courts’ jurisprudence. The final section of this paper suggests that Himonga’s thesis, in which she cautions against the danger of reducing reformed laws into ‘paper law’, has a universal appeal. In particular, I argue that her thesis provides useful insights into the best practical approaches to resolving conflicts between customary rules and practices and human rights. Afrikaans: Hierdie artikel is ’n evaluering van die invloed van Chuma Himonga se werk op my navorsing en dié van talle ander akademiese skrywers. Dit begin met ’n bespreking van Himonga se bydrae tot ’n groter begrip van die belangrikheid daarvan om die geleefde realiteite in ag te neem van die gemeenskappe waarop hervormde wette van toepassing is. Daarna evalueer die artikel die praktiese implementering van die Wet op Erkenning van Gebruiklike Huwelike 120 van 1998 om die konflik tussen gewoontereg en vroue se regte in die konteks van gebruiklike huwelike te hanteer. Die artikel kyk na Himonga se bydrae tot die groter begrip van hierdie realiteit deur die howe se regspleging te ontleed. Die finale gedeelte van hierdie dokument stel voor dat Himonga se tesis, waarin sy waarsku teen die gevaar om hervormde wette as ‘papierwette’ te aanvaar, ’n universele aantrekkingskrag het. Ek redeneer in die besonder dat haar tesis nuttige insig verskaf in die beste praktiese benaderings om konflik tussen gewoonteregreëls en praktyke en menseregte op te los.
