Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi clarified that the payment of lobola remains a requirement for registering a customary marriage under the new Marriages Act. This act was implemented last year, combining the laws governing civil and customary marriages.
While lobola is not necessary for registering a civil marriage, it is still mandatory for customary marriages, <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/lobola-still-required-for-customary-union/amp/">The Herald</a> cited the minister. Minister Ziyambi’s clarification came after media reports suggested that lobola was now optional.

</ul>
Traditionally, Zimbabwean marriages begin with a customary union, which is often not registered and later converted into a civil union. The new Marriages Act allows couples with a registered customary union to change it to a registered civil union, which was not possible under the previous separate marriage acts. Ziyambi said:
<blockquote>
What the new Marriages Act did was to repeal all marriage laws; that is the Civil Marriages Act and the Customary Marriages Act.
Under the Civil Marriages Act, which came with the whites, questions were not asked whether lobola was paid or not if the marriage was to be registered and this is still the case under the new law, if the union is to be registered as a civil marriage.
For customary unions, payment of lobola still remains a requirement and marriage officers, who now include traditional leaders, registering such a union, still have to ascertain if lobola has been paid before it is registered. So, it’s not correct to say lobola is now optional under the new law.
</blockquote>
During the discussions on the new Marriages Act in Parliament, the topic of lobola (bride price) was a major point of debate. Chiefs in the Senate raised objections to a proposed clause that stated bride price should not be a barrier for consenting adults to form a union, as it would violate their constitutional right to association.
The traditional leaders, led by Chief Fortune Charumbira, argued that lobola was an integral part of customary marriage and that not upholding it would undermine cultural values. Eventually, the chiefs succeeded in inserting a clause that made it mandatory for a marriage officer presiding over a customary marriage to inquire about the parties’ identity, marital status, lobola agreement, if any, and any impediments to the marriage.

Payment Of Lobola Remains Mandatory For Registering Customary Marriage - Justice Minister

A South African based Zimbabwean man is demanding his lobola back after he caught his wife in bed with another man.
35-year-old Mkhiwa Ndlovu from Tsholotsho’s area of Mapengula was on 21 November this year busted by her husband, Simon Mpofu (38) having sexual intercourse with her lover.
On a fateful day, Mpofu reportedly came home unannounced from South Africa after he had been tipped off by one of the villagers that his wife had a boyfriend.
Mpofu is alleged to have waited for nightfall before he made his way home, where he caught his wife pants down with another man in their bedroom.
Reports say Mkhiwa and her boyfriend ran away naked after Mpofu busted them. The two lovers were spotted by villagers at Tsholotsho Business Centre running in different directions.
Meanwhile, Mpofu is alleged to have engaged people to talk with his father-in-law Gibson Ndlovu to see how he can compensate him for the damage caused by his daughter and pay him back the lobola he had paid.
He is also demanding his property back that he had given them for safe-keeping. Mpofu told a local tabloid:
<blockquote>
I don’t want to fight. I bought donkeys and a cart that I was safe-keeping at my in-laws. I want my property back. I also want them to repay me the lobola I paid for their daughter to end this chapter.
My wife ran away and I don’t know where she is, so the father has to compensate me because she is his daughter.
</blockquote>
Payment of bride price or lobola has been a contentious issue in Zimbabwe.
This year, traditional leaders in the Senate led by President of Chiefs Council Fortune Charumbira <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/08/20/chiefs-block-passage-of-lobola-law-in-senate/">opposed clause 16 in the Marriages Amendment Bill</a> hampering the passage of the Bill in the Upper House of Parliament.
The contentious clause provides that payment of lobola could not be regarded as a barrier in solemnising marriage between two consenting adults if they satisfy other requirements of the law.
