Types of Marriages in South Africa:
​
In South Africa, marriages are broadly classified into two categories:
​
1. In Community of Property: By default, couples are married in community of property, entailing shared assets and liabilities. However, an Antenuptial Contract allows couples to opt out of this arrangement, preserving their financial independence.
2. Out of Community of Property: Through an Antenuptial Contract, couples can maintain separate estates, protecting their individual assets acquired before and during the marriage.
​
