The object of this Ordinance is
to substitute a new section in place of section
39 of the Marriage Ordinance of 1875 so as to enable parties, who desire to do so,
to enter into a valid civil
marriage before the Registrar General, although neither of such parties professes the Christian religion.
The power of contracting such a civil marriage can, however, only be exercised by parties
neither of whom has a husband, or wife living, and the words "husband" and "wife"
are defined to include persons married according to their personal law and religion.
St. Henry E. Porlock, Acting Attorney General.
