About: The claim: ‘If you got married after September 2022 and your marriage certificate says Chapter 5:11, you must get the marriage certificate amended at the Marriages Registry otherwise the marriage is null and void. It should read chapter 5:17,’ has been rated as misleading. While the certificates are defective, the defect does not automatically render the marriages but those divorcing need to get them corrected before divorce proceedings can commence. The new Marriages Act [Chapter 5:17] came into effect in September 2022 repealing the old Marriages Act Chapter 5:11 and Chapter 5:07, which applied to all marriages in Zimbabwe.
