The DC, Itumeleng Gabaake had started the session by giving the couples free lessons on marriage life, she also enumerated types of marriages explaining the differences.As the DC began asking the couples if they were marrying in community of property of their own volition, she eventually zoomed in on a couple in their 40s or 50s asking the same questions she had asked the others.

Startting with the groom the DC asked: "Manoele Monametsi*, how true is it that you are marrying Lenngane Montsho* in community of property?" In response Monametsi sighed: "Hei! Yes it is true but I was forced to do this....". He had not finished his sentence before the murmurs started in the crowd with many craning their necks to get a better look at the couple as the bride bowed her head.
