Recognising Intimate Relationships: Civil Union Act and the Marriage Act

07 August 2025

Within the South African context, our legal framework for recognising intimate relationships is unique. Our legislative framework offers various legislative... pathways for couples to formalise their unions. The two most prominent Acts are the Marriage Act, 1961 (Act 25 of 1961) and the Civil Union Act, 2006 (Act 17 of 2006). Both Acts, while governing the solemnisation and registration of partnerships, differ in various aspects, including scope, eligibility, formalities, and social context. If you find yourself in a position where you want to solemnise your relationship, it is important to know these differences and to know which Act is most applicable to you and your relationship.

Just a short note to thank you for the excellent service that I received yesterday. It was professional, thorough and very efficient.

Thank you very much for all that you have done. We appreciate what you did for us. It feels good to deal with people that are just as good as their words, and better. I will recommend you to others. You are not just a good lawyer, but also a gentleman.

Marietjie, Private client

Ek wil aan julle my dank en waardering uitspreek vir die positiewe verloop van hierdie aangeleentheid, in die besonder vir die geduld gedurende die tyd wat dit geneem het om dit af te handel, so ook die advies en bystand.

Beatrix , Private client

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for being my pillars of strength and support throughout my ordeal. I am overwhelmed by the manner in which you represented me in court.

Ek beplan om die tyd te neem om julle kantore te besoek, net om persoonlik my dank te kom gee. Ek het soveel vertroue in julle gehad van die begin af. Julle het die situasie met soveel respek hanteer, verstommend.

Charmaine , Private client

Thank you so much for attending to the transfer and for being so efficient. It has been such a pleasure to work with you.

Debbie , Private client

It just remains for me to thank you very much for all the work involved in getting us to this end point - a point I'm sure we all wondered if we'd ever see at some stage or other. I would also like to thank your conveyancing department who was wonderful at communicating during the sale of the house.

Jayne, Private client

Baie dankie, dit is ’n verligting dat my pa se boedel afgehandel is – alle dank weereens aan jou. Baie dankie vir die professionele manier waarop jy alles hanteer het, al jou moeite met die ‘ekstras’ en die gereelde kommunikasie om ons op hoogte te hou. Ons sal kontak behou!

Deon , Private client

Thank you for all your hours of service and commitment to resolving and tying up this tiresome estate. I am exceedingly grateful.

Sally , Private client

I would like to thank you for the professional manner in which the affairs of my mother’s estate were handled.

John , Private client

Baie dankie vir julle hulp ten spyte van julle baie werk. Ons plaas ’n baie hoë verwagting op diens en julle het dit by uitstek oortref. Nogmaals dankie, ons waardeer dit baie!

Petra , Private client

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the opportunity you have afforded me of completing Vacation Work with your firm. I have enjoyed my time spent with you, and it has been an absolute pleasure to learn more about your firm, and the legal world. I am so appreciative of the warm welcome by all of your colleagues, and the manner in which we interacted throughout my time here. I hope to return for more Vacation Work this year, and I am exceedingly eager to apply to complete my articles with you, as I have just about fallen in love with your firm and the family that it hosts.

Tamara Foyn, Vacation Work Candidate

Testimony of great service delivery: Miller, Bosman, Le Roux Attorneys are always going the extra mile, or in this case many kilometers, for our agents. Isabel drove all the way to Caledon today to collect keys from an owner for CoC repairs to be done tomorrow to ensure that a transaction can register as soon as possible. Thank you to Grant HILL and Isabel HART. Going upHILL (pun intended) for our agents shows your HeARTs (pun intended) are in the right place.

Elwee van der Merwe, Private client
Keller Williams Dynamic

I believe in giving credit where it is due, Miller Bosman Le Roux, attorneys what a great experience. Professional and compassionate service. Alno Smit, our journey thus far has been one of trust, you are greatly appreciated. This company is highly recommended.
