A significant initiative in Baramita, Region One spearheaded by the General Register Office, led by the Deputy Registrar General, has resulted in 25 couples being able to legalise their union.
A Ministry of Home Affairs release yesterday revealed that over the course of four days, from September 27 to 30, the legal union of 25 couples was realised, “marking a profound milestone in their lives.”
According to the release, during registration outreaches, it was discovered that within the area of Baramita, North West District, mainly Cassie Creek, Aranka, and Warapa, there were many couples who had been together for over 25 years without being legally married.
It explained that for many couples in these close-knit communities, the concept of legality in their relationships had eluded them for an extended period.
