Copy of “ཤ་ད་ཀན་ཐོ་” by Crown Solicitor.
It is necessary to prove.
1. The first marriage ceremony.
2. That it was valid.
3. The identity of the parties.
4. That the wife and husband were living in England at the date of the second marriage.
A. The best evidence would be that of a person present at the marriage ceremony acquainted with both the parties, supported by certified extract from the Registers.
(2.1. The Evidence of the wife is admissible against the husband, but not so if it comes from her alone. It would be useless for her to come to Hongkong.)
B. Failing the above, the evidence of an intimate friend of both parties who can prove their identity with the persons named in the marriage certificates would be sufficient.
