People who care about each other sometimes decide to live together without getting married. Zimbabwe has special rules about these kinds of relationships. The government calls them civil partnerships. Two adults can share a home and make a life together without having an official wedding ceremony.
Lawmakers created rules to understand how these partnerships work. They want to know that couples are truly committed and living like a family. The law looks at whether people share a real home and take care of each other. Courts want to see that the relationship is honest and meaningful.
Right now, courts have not decided exactly how long people must live together to be considered a real partnership. Couples must prove they have a genuine connection and share daily life. This means showing they support each other and create a home together.
The Marriages Act explains these special relationship rules. People must demonstrate they have a true partnership through their actions. Zimbabwe recognizes that families come in different shapes and sizes. The law wants to protect people who love and care for each other.
