Some Important Information From Comments

Error / Problem:
1. Tried the SMS no response at all, just loosing money. Calling that line its one nightmare. Everything is just falling apart in this country. For one to get something, they must always pay people who are already employed which is pure nonsense. Its a long way to go honestly. SA down the drain

2.The SMS line is not responding ever since the pandemic. It only charges this R1 fee without giving back any response. Is DHA not aware of this situation (or) just turning a blind eye on it?

3. I sent 3 SMS to 32551 with no response. I only get ‘Failed to send message to 32551’ R3 lost. This thread is probably not even monitored.

4. This is a money making scheme. Just imagine how many R1 they can make in one day. STOP USING THIS 32551. You will never get a reply. It just shows you once again that our country is fully corrupt and will even scam you with a SMS that does not work at all but you pay them R1.

Information:
Most of the commenters commented that, SMS number 32251 line does not work

What is Marital Status?

Marital status refers to the legal status of an individual in relation to their marriage. In South Africa, the Department of Home Affairs maintains records of marital status through the civil registration system, which includes information about marriages, divorces, and civil partnerships.

Here are some key points about marital status in South Africa as it pertains to the Department of Home Affairs (DHA):

Marriage registration:
When a couple gets married in South Africa, they are required by law to register their marriage with the Department of Home Affairs. The marriage must be registered within a specified period after the ceremony, and the couple will receive a marriage certificate as proof of their marital status.

Marital status updates:
If there are changes in marital status due to divorce, annulment, or dissolution of a civil partnership, it is important to update the marital status with the Department of Home Affairs. This may require submitting relevant documents, such as a divorce decree or dissolution of civil partnership certificate, to the DHA to update the records.
