CASE REVISIT ⚖️

Today we revisit the case of Musa Ahmed Adam Yousuf v Mahtani Group of Companies and 3 Others (2011/HPC/0081).

Behind the Episode – My Personal Thoughts ⚖️

The Matrimonial Causes Act No. 20 of 2007 (Hereinafter Called "the Matrimonial Causes Act") and the Marriage Act , Chapter 50 of the Laws of Zambia almost operate hand in hand when it comes to divorce proceedings in Zambia.

Under Section 3 of the Matrimonial Causes Act, the courts only entertain divorce petitions where the marriage was contracted under the Marriage Act or the law of a foreign country.

But what happens when a marriage is not conducted in accordance with the Marriage Act? Can a party still petition the High Court for divorce proceedings in Zambia?

This issue came up in Nooria Patel v Ahmed Patel – SCZ Judgment No. 50 of 2016, which I discuss in the latest episode of My Two Cents: A Zambian Case Law Podcast.
