Wat is die regsgevolge sou ek “ja” sȇ vir ’n verlowing❓
'n Verlowingsooreenkoms is ‘n kontrak en is bindend en het regsgevolge. Die partye betrokke kom ooreen om ‘n verlowing met mekaar te sluit. Deur ‘ja’ te sệ moet jy bedoel dat jy daardeur instem om verloof te raak aan daardie betrokke persoon.
Die bedoeling van beide partye moet ooreenstem voordat die ooreenkoms om verloof te raak enige regsgevolge kan inhou.
Geen voorgeskrewe formaliteite word vereis nie.
Wanvoorstelling met betrekking tot enige noodsaaklike aspek, deur enige van die partye, laat die verlowingsooreenkoms herroepbaar.Ander faktore soos druk of onbehoorlike beïnvloeding sal die verlowingsooreenkoms ook herroepbaar laat.
What are the legal consequences if I say “yes” to engagement❓
An engagement agreement between two parties is a contract and as such is binding and has legal implications. The parties concerned have to agree to an engagement between each other. By saying ‘yes’ you must give consent that you thereby agree to get engaged to that specific person.
The intention of both parties must correspond before the agreement to get engaged can have any legal implications.
There are no prescribed formalities to such an agreement and it can be made in writing or viva voce (orally). Material misrepresentation by any of the parties renders the engagement agreement voidable.
Other factors such as duress or undue influence will also make the engagement agreement voidable.
