The Democratic Alliance (DA) warmly welcomes the historic issuance of South Africa’s first-ever marriage certificates officially recognising Muslim marriages.
This milestone brings dignity and long-overdue equality to members of the Muslim community.
We commend the DA Minister of Home Affairs, Dr. Leon Schreiber, for his swift and meaningful work in making this a reality. This is a significant reform, providing Muslim couples and their families with the recognition they have always deserved.
This announcement follows a mere four months into the Minister’s diligent service in his role. It is a testament to his dedication to interventions that touch the lives of people and improve service delivery for South Africans.
Today marks an important step in building a South Africa that is truly inclusive and just. We celebrate alongside the Muslim community and look forward to the continued strengthening of our nation’s commitment to dignity, diversity, and human rights.
