Is a religious or customary marriage legally recognized?

Family Law

Section 67 states that a marriage is deemed to exist where a man and woman accept each other as husband and wife through a ceremony, formal act or other act, subject to the legal requirements governing marriage.

Marriage registration should still be completed because it provides official evidence and simplifies later legal and administrative processes.
