 The [[Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act]] (no. 55 of 1949) was one of the first pieces of apartheid legislation enacted after the National Party came to power in South Africa in 1948. The Act banned marriages between “[[European]]s and [[Non-European]]s,” which, in the language of the time, meant that [[White]] people could not marry people of other races. It also made it a criminal offense for a marriage officer to perform an interracial marriage ceremony.
