Claim: Men can now pay lobola only if they want to as bride price is now a moral decision rather than a mandated legal necessity under the New Marriages Act.
Fact-check: If you want a customary marriage and your culture believes in lobola, you have only one option - pay  - FactCheckZW
Verdict: misleading. the claim that 'men can now pay lobola only if they want to as a bride price is now a moral decision rather than a mandated legal one' is misleading. payment of lobola is mandatory for those who want to register a customary marriage if in their customs lobola forms part of the marriage formalities. while civil marriage are excluded from lobola payments , customary marriages are not thus excluded.
