SEPTEMBER, 1884.

An Act for the validation of certain licenses to solemnize Marriages granted to Ministers of Religion under Act XXV. of 1864.

WHEREAS by section 4 of Act XXV. of 1864 (to provide further for the solemnization of Marriages in India of persons professing the Christian Religion) it was enacted that, from and after the first day of July, 1864,

S. 3 (a).-Sec G. G. 1883, p. 259.
S. 4 (b). See G. G. 1886, p. 81.

certain Governments therein named should have authority to grant licenses to ministers of religion to solemnize marriages within the territories subject to such Governments respectively :

And whereas, in exercise of the authority so conferred, the Governments therein named granted licenses to certain ministers of religion to solemnize marriages;

And whereas Act XXV. of 1864 was repealed by Act V. of 1865 (to provide for the solemnization of Marriages in India of persons professing the Christian Religion);

And whereas by section 9 of the latter Act it was enacted that, from and after the commencement of that Act, all marriages which should be solemnized in India otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the fifth and sixth sections of that Act should be null and void;

And whereas by section 6 of the same Act it was enacted that marriages might be solemnized in India by (among other persons) any minister of religion who, under the provisions of that Act, had obtained a license to solemnize marriages;

And whereas Act V. of 1865 was repealed by the Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872;

And whereas by section 4 of the latter Act it is enacted that every marriage between persons, one or both of whom is a Christian or Christians, shall be solemnized in accordance with the provisions of the next following section; and that any such marriage solemnized otherwise than in accordance with such provisions shall be null and void;

And whereas by the next following section of the same Act it is enacted that marriages may be solemnized in India by (among other persons) any minister of religion licensed under the same Act to solemnize marriages;

And whereas neither in Act V. of 1865 nor in the Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872, was there or is there any provision either saving licenses granted under Act XXV. of 1864 or permitting a marriage to be solemnized by a minister of religion who had obtained a license to solemnize marriages under Act XXV. of 1864 only;

And whereas certain marriages have been solemnized both while Act V. of 1865 was in force and since the passing of the Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872, by ministers of religion who had obtained licenses to solemnize marriages under Act XXV. of 1864, but had never obtained licenses to solemnize marriages under Act V. of 1865 or the Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872, as the case may be, and doubts have therefore arisen as to the validity of such marriages;

And whereas it is expedient to remove such doubts and to declare the continued validity of licenses to solemnize marriages granted to ministers of religion under Act XXV. of 1864;

It is hereby enacted as follows:

1. A license to solemnize marriages granted to a minister of religion.

Validation of licenses to solemnize marriages granted to ministers of religion under Act XXV. of 1864.

under Act XXV. of 1864 shall be deemed, if. in force on the date on which Act V. of 1865 came into force, to have been, while that Act was in force, a license granted under that Act, and, if in force on the date on which the Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872, came into force, to have been since that Act came into force, and to be, a license granted under that Act.
