South Africa recognises three different marriage regimes: civil marriages, civil unions, and customary marriages. In this episode of the “On The Money” podcast series, John Manyike, Head of Financial Education at Old Mutual, sits down with attorney Bianza Liesering and “Anonymous” who shares her personal experience of being in a customary marriage and the impact it had on her financially. We hear from Bianza on how a customary marriage is recognised legally in South Africa and she explains: 

• how antenuptial agreements impact a marriage,
• when antenuptial agreements should be drawn up and signed,
• and what people should take into account before getting married in South Africa.
