Married, or Not Married?

Marriages to be Verified, Reinstated…

Married couples in Namibia find themselves in a dubious scenario after the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security (MHAISS) observed that some Marriage Officers have not consistently submitted marriage registers to the Ministry as required by law. This late or non-submission resulted in some marriages not being registered on time in the Ministry's system or not at all.

A daily National newspaper recently reported about a married couple from Grootfontein who got married 50 years ago in Windhoek. The couple reportedly discovered only now that according to the Ministry's system, they are both single. To salvage the situation, the couple re-married and this time around made sure their marriage records were submitted to the Ministry by the Marriage Officers. Married couples at the coast also found their way to the nearest Home Affairs office after the startling news broke, and along with two witnesses re-ensured their marriages are recorded with the Ministry by signing the Marriage Register. Legal implications of marriages which are not registered with the Ministry could be devastating for the next of kin of these persons should one or both passes away, as no automatic rights to inheritances, pensions, medical aid or death benefits, among others will be recognised.

A public notice, issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security during October last year, noted that, to ensure completeness and accuracy of the national marriage register, the Ministry encourages all married couples to visit their nearest MHAISS office to verify whether their marriage records were submitted to the Ministry by the Marriage Officers and whether they have been duly registered in the Ministry's system. “This verification process is important to safeguard the legal recognition of marriages and to maintain the accuracy of national civil records,” the notice states.

In response to enquiries done by Namib Times, the Ministry's chief public relations officer, Ms Magreth Kalo noted that married couples should bring the original and certified copies of their IDs and marriage certificates along when they visit Home Affairs' offices. “If the marriage is not found in the system, the couple will be advised on what steps to take,” Kalo said.
