Matrimonial Property Act, 1984 (Act No. 88 of 1984)Chapter IV : General Provisions24. Distribution of matrimonial property upon dissolution of marriage for want of consent of parents or guardian |
| (1) | If a court dissolves a marriage to which a minor is a party on the ground of want of consent of the parents or guardian of that minor, or a commissioner of child welfare whose consent is by law required for the entering into of a marriage, it may make such order with regard to the division of the matrimonial property of the spouses as it may deem just. |
| (2) | If such a marriage is not dissolved, the patrimonial consequences of the marriage are the same as if the minor were of age when the marriage was entered into and any antenuptial contract in terms of which the accrual system is included and which has been executed with a view to such a marriage is deemed to have been validly executed. |
