The Government last month introduced measures to flush out foreigners and Zimbabweans who have been abusing the country's marriage laws.
Such measures included computerised and serialised marriage certificates to curb multiple marriages, marriages of convenience and immigration fraud.
Foreigners, mostly those from Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo, enter into marriages of convenience and marry more than one wife using different names to secure Zimbabwean citizenship or residence permits.
In most marriages of convenience, women are lured with money or property.
