There is so much more to marriage than the wedding day. In this conversation, attorney, notary and founder of Sister In Law, Tebello Motshwane, takes us into the legalities of marriage in South Africa, unpacking when a marriage actually begins and what traditional marriages mean within the complexities of South African law.We get into the day of lobola, the role of families and traditions, and what both women and men should know before getting married. Tebello breaks down the legal questions that can arise within marriage and why understanding your rights is so important before saying “I do”.That conversation naturally extends to children’s rights, parental rights and responsibilities, and maintenance. Tebello shares what mothers and fathers should know about their respective rights and responsibilities, and how having this knowledge can help protect both parents and children.Beyond her work in the law, Tebello opens up about her own upbringing and how her experiences have shaped the way she understands marriage, family and divorce. She reflects on what she has seen, how divorce can affect both children and partners, and the lessons and advice she has taken from those experiences.This is a conversation that will empower you with knowledge and broaden your understanding of the legal realities of marriage, family and relationships.#RelebogileMabotjaPod #RMP #RelebogileMabotjaPodcast #TebelloMotshwane #RelebogilePod
