The Marriage Amendment Bill B-2023 has successfully passed through the National Assembly and is now on its way to the President for consideration and approval.

This development follows an amendment proposal presented by the National Council, which aims to redefine the core principles of marriage within the bill.

The sponsor of the bill, Swapo Party MP Jerry Ekandjo, has accepted the National Council's proposed amendment.

The next and final step in the legislative process is for the bill to be forwarded to the President for review and approval.
