Zimbabwean Men No Longer Under An Obligation To Pay Lobola

Zimbabwean Men No Longer Under An Obligation To Pay Lobola

Zimbabwean men can now pay roora/lobola only if they want to do so as a bride price is now a moral decision rather than a legal requirement under the New Marriages Act.

This was said by the director of the Law Development Commission (LDC), Netsai Zvakasikwa, during a recent interactive public legal awareness meeting aimed at clarifying the main provisions of the recently enacted Act, in Masvingo Province.

Zvakasikwa said that although the Government acknowledges moral values and cultural customs surrounding marriages, the payment of bride price is no longer obligatory. The Chronicle quoted Zvakasikwa as saying:

Chiefs have expressed disapproval of the Civil Marriages Act provision stating that “roora” consideration is no longer a requirement.

However, as indigenous Zimbabweans, we are attempting to make it clear that we did not create the civil marriage system; rather, we inherited it.

Some traditional leaders believe that the changes to marriage laws are a threat to Zimbabwe’s prevalent marriage culture where the payment of bride price is key.

Zvakasikwa said people should continue adhering to their traditional marriage practices. She said:

As a result, we are continuing the civil marriage tradition, much as our former colonisers did, though our values and customs still emanate from Zimbabwe.

We are not advocating that you ignore the required “roora” payment in order to comply with the Act.

Though the Act’s provisions stipulate that it is no longer required, do it because it is part of our culture.

LDC deputy chair, Rex Shana said soon, villagers will no longer need to travel to cities to solemnise marriages as traditional leaders will be designated to officiate customary marriages. He said:

Chiefs will soon be designated to officiate customary marriages within their respective jurisdictions following the new requirements.

According to the recently passed statute, chiefs are awaiting induction. We are not abolishing their customs; however, the Act has introduced new obligations, such as verifying that the couple getting married is at least eighteen years old and that they are unrelated in any way, meaning that a brother cannot wed a sister or a cousin. Cousins by birth cannot get married.

The LDC is conducting nationwide legal awareness meetings on the Marriages Act [Chapter 5:17] enlightening communities about the new law and its applicability to them.

LDC is responsible for conducting research, making recommendations, and providing legal advice to the government and other stakeholders on matters related to law and justice.

kuratidza kuti urimurume chaidzo kwe murume nebrungwe you not suppose to celebrate on this. those who celebrates on this belong to stingy man association. REAL MAN PAY LOBOLA NO MATTER WHAT THE LAW SAYS. REAL MAN HONORS THE WIFE THAT HE WANTS TO MARRY BUY PAYING LOBOLA and real man don't optionalize kuti kuti I will pay or not. Varume vaka nyorwa pamadziro epa ma public toilet ndivo vanofarira izvi zvino dzigisira kuva murume. kana uri murume chaizo kwete be trouse rawunofeka asi nejere zaka kwana uno koshesa makadzi nekurora. man should realize that something's we want to celebrate on will undress you as a man and make you wear a g*string , a real man will never say because it was said I have a choice not to pay lobola or not. ladies vasikana mankazana never marry an ed.iot kind of a man who doesn't honor you before your parents and doesn't pay bride price for you. kana imbwa ika konewa kuhukura ayisi imbwa bapatisise ipapo, chero ichishedzwa kuti irimbwa. why will you ladies agree to stay with someone who doesn't want to pay pride price for you and you think that person will buy you a under garment. Kana achigonewa kana kufarira kuti ITS AN OPTION TO PAY LOBOLA OR NOT and that man does that. Murume asina kubhadara roora bride price doesn't deserve to remove your under garment or stay with you. To all stingy man association out there musanyadzise boyze mumaghetto nekusa bhadara Mari yeroora . that woman desrve the best vakadzi rambayi zvinu zvisina deri mukati. kumiswa tea isina sugar newe wotowudza cup nechikwa rambai roora mbere . Kuzviti murume neka trouse kasina shape NE colour usingabhadare roora kana kufarira kusabhadara roora. zvinoitwa nevarume vano rara nema****e vasinga bhadare. murume kutovura meso segodzo rapatwa kufarira headline yekuti of now it's optional kuti man to pay pride price. kamurume kaka nyorwa pamadziro public etoilet kasina hunu tiviriyi apo. murume asina kurora akafanana nekakiti kekumaraini Kano pinda pese pese

🤣🤣🤣@ VZ I know kuti watambura. U don't know my history. I used to have a good job, ndakaroora mukadziwangu zvakanaka and I am respected kumba kwavo. I even finished paying my lovely wife's fees kuti apedze her degree in education. Inini however I lost my job in 2018 and during covid 19 my wife's salary from teaching at a private school helped the family. I do my best kumira mira semurume ndichiita ma deals hangu. My wife respects me and also my in laws coz vanoziva zvandakaita. Ndiri bho hangu.

Lobola is overrated and outdated. In a world where women are now allowed to work and acquire wealth and properties, why should men pay lobola then? How come women don't pay lobola?
Bvepfepfe · 1 year ago
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 @Big boy Mawiwi, inzwa Lobola is ceremony that unites a family, it was in tradition that the man would honour the Father in Law and his house hold and also himself. Even mukadzi waunoda kana ari a Millionaire unotofanira kumuroora chete with Lobola. U will be showing kuti u will take care of her futi. Pamberi ne Lobola
