The rules of the Constitutional Court of South Africa can take the title of the wife

The highest South African court ruled that husbands could take the title of their wives, which led to the volatility of a law that prevents them from doing so.

In the victory of two couples who brought the case, the Constitutional Court ruled that the law was a gender -based discrimination.

Henry Van der Meroy has the right to take the title of his wife, Jana Jordan, while Andreas Nicholas Burman could not top his title to include Dunili, the title of his wife, Jess Donlley, the public broadcaster, SABC.

Parliament will now have to amend the law of gathering and deaths, along with its regulations, for the verb.

The couple argued that the law was ancient and Patriarchate, and violated the rights of equality stipulated in the constitution that adopted South Africa at the end of the rule of white rulings.

They succeeded in challenging the law in the lower court, the Supreme Court, but they asked the Constitutional Court to confirm its ruling.

A legal committee, the Free Advocacy Association, joined the court’s case to support the spouses.

He argued that by restricting a man’s right to the title of his wife, the law perpetuates harmful stereotypes, as men were deprived of the choice available to women, according to the reports of the sweet news site.

The Minister of Internal Affairs, Lyon Shrebar, nor the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mamuluko Kobayi, did not oppose the request of two couples, according to IOL News.
