Despite same sex marriage being legal in South Africa since 2006, it seems as though
homophobic views continue to persist as public hearings on The Marriage Bill take place in the Eastern Cape. The intention behind the The Marriage Bill is to introduce a single marriage act that would replace the three existing laws governing civil marriages, customary marriages and civil unions. Meanwhile others say that age is indeed a
number, advocating for the marriage age to be raised from 18 to 21.
