A labola is an arranged payment between a groom and the bride's family in exchange for their daughter. The payment may be cash or cattle or what ever valuable the groom has to pay for his bride. Labola is a way for the groom to say 'thanks for raising a good daughter.' It is an action in mostly South Africatraditional weddings.

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.'
