Professor Chuma Himonga and Mrs. Fatima Diallo prepared the first Integration report of the Socio-Legal study on the formation and patterns of customary marriage in Zambia
The study seeks to examine the taxonomy of interactions between the legal normative orders established by state laws and the customary norms governing the formation and consequences of customary marriages. This is important because very few researchers have gone into the relevant communities to investigate the state of customary laws of marriage and the nature of their relationship with the Constitution and other pieces of legislation.
The first Integration reports seeks to answer the following questions:
1- What indigenous laws and state laws exist with respect to customary marriages, and what are the interactions between the two legal orders?
2- Through which formal or informal processes are these interactions organised?
