The overall concept of marriage changed with this act.

  • The act was put in place In South Africa.
  • As per the act, it was illegal for white individuals to be married or have intercourse with persons of other racial groupings. The apartheid administration enacted the law as part of its overarching policy of segregation.
  • Following the passage of this act, several persons were detained and accused of violating its terms. Interracial unions between citizens that took place outside of the nation were likewise invalidated under the legislation.
  • The churches opposed the measure the most. Many priests contended that marriage was a matter for God and the churches, not the government.
  • The Act's declaration that mixed marriages "solemnised" after its passage would be invalid was one of the main points of contention. Later, the act was repealed.
