How old do you have to be to get married in South Africa?

Answer 1

Right now its 18,, but it is being considered to be raised to 21.

Answer 2

When you are legally an adult (at 18) you can get married by yourself. At 16 you may get married if you have permission from your parents and your spouse's parents (if he/she is under 18 too). Traditional marriages can happen at any age, although I think they only get a government marriage certificate at 18.

Answer 3

You have to be 16 years old. To apply for your ID, you need a certified birth certificate, photographs and your finger prints are taken. You can apply for your ID on your 16th birthday. You have to fill in the necessary forms (available from Home Affairs IInternet site or their regional offices) and deliver them. There is quite a long wait- depending on which Home Affairs office you visit! All learners who sit for FET examinations (including Matric) are required to have their IDs.
