Best Answer

The Marriage Act of South Africa requires that a minor (i.e. a person under 21) has to get written consent from their parents and/or legal guardians before they can get married.

If the parent or legal guardian refuses to consent, then the minor can apply to the Commissioner of Child Welfare. If s/he refuses to consent, then the minor can apply to the Judge of the High Court.
