Is it true that if your partner pays lobola it can be registered as a legal marriege.?
Well in certain rural communities labolas count for legal marriage, since labolas are the traditional way for a man to 'purchase' his wife. A labola is an arranged payment (financially or payed with cattle) between the groom and the bride's family (mostly father and uncles). It is a way of saying, 'thanks for raising a good daughter.'
