8. The equality and antidiscrimination clause is one of the most important provisions of the Constitution and therefore this case allows this Honourable Court to define its own trajectory on the issue of equality in the same matter that the Indian Supreme Court, the Canadian Supreme Court and the Federal Supreme Court of the United States of America and indeed the Constitutional Court of South Africa have been forced to deal with the same and in the majority of cases all these Courts have come up with flying colours on this issue. 9. However besides the ma1n 1ssues, this Court will have to deal with certain misconceptions in the Respondents' Opposing Affidavit in particular on the question of:~ (a) The issue of locus standi; (b)The stereotype blunt suggestion that they are differences between boys and girls or men and women which justify with great respect obnoxio position of the law contained in Section 22 of the Marriages Act [ChapterS: 11] and of cause the gross omission in the Customary Marriages Act. C. THE SUPREMACY OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THE INEXTRICABLE COMPONENTS OF SUCH SUPREMACY AS A STARTING POINT 10. Section 2 of the Constitution is a defining clause in the Constitution. Section 2 makes it clear that the Constitution itself is the supreme law of the country and that any law, practice, custom or conduct inconsistent with the same is invalid to the extent of the inconsistency.
