Error string with local date

I am trying to convert from string to localdate (JODA TIME), but this gives me an error

String theDate = w.getPSDate();  == 6/03/2013
LocalDate ld = new LocalDate(theDate);
System.out.println(ld);

for some reason, I have to use a string instead of a date. I want to print the date as (06/03/2013). What is the error in the code?

Error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format: "06/03/2013" is malformed at "/03/2013"
at org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.parseMillis(DateTimeFormatter.java:747)
at org.joda.time.convert.StringConverter.getPartialValues(StringConverter.java:87)
at org.joda.time.LocalDate.<init>(LocalDate.java:406)
at org.joda.time.LocalDate.<init>(LocalDate.java:354)
at Date.GetDate.main(GetDate.java:94)

Java Result: 1

Use DateTimeFormatter:

// Are you sure it 6/03/2013 rather than 06/03/2013? dd would be nicer...
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("d/MM/yyyy");
LocalDate date = formatter.parseLocalDate(text);
