Greek Marriages Act 1884
The Greek Marriages Act 1884 is an act of the British Parliament which allowed courts to declare the validity of Greek Orthodox marriages made between 1836 and 1857. The marriages were celebrated either in their homes or at the Greek Church in London, which by this time had become St Sophia's Cathedral. The Marriage Act 1836 made marriage the business of multiple religious organisations, and the Matrimonial Causes Act 1857 made it the business of the state. But there was concern among the Greek community that Greek Orthodoxy had not been one of the religious organisations. If this was so, their marriages would be invalid. The Act laid out a procedure for a court to declare such a marriage valid, and the requirements for doing so. The first case brought under the Act was ''Zarafi v Attorney General'', in August 1885.

Matrimonial Causes (War Marriages) Act 1944
Marriage, also called matrimony or wedlock, is a culturally and often legally recognized union between people called spouses. It establishes rights and obligations between them, as well as between them and their children, and between them and their in-laws. It is considered a cultural universal, but the definition of marriage varies between cultures and religions, and over time. Typically, it is an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually sexual, are acknowledged or sanctioned. In some cultures, marriage is recommended or considered to be compulsory before pursuing any sexual activity. A marriage ceremony is called a wedding. Individuals may marry for several reasons, including legal, social, libidinal, emotional, financial, spiritual, and religious purposes. Whom they marry may be influenced by gender, socially determined rules of incest, prescriptive marriage rules, parental choice, and individual desire. In some areas of the world, arranged marr ...

Where one person falsely asserts that he or she is married to another, the wronged party could obtain an order restraining further repetitions of the falsehood. The action was abolished in England in 1986 and in Ireland in 1995. The suit for jactitation of marriage Where one person falsely asserted that he or she is married to another, the wronged party (the petitioner) could bring a suit for jactitation of marriage. The suit could be brought only against the person (the respondent) wrongfully claiming to be married, and could not be used to forbid third parties from alleging the existence of a marriage. If the court found the case to be proven, it could issue a declaration that the two parties were not married, along with an order forbidding the respondent from repeating the assertion. There were three defences to the suit: * that an assertion of marriage was in fact never made * ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Family Law In The United Kingdom
Family (from la, familia) is a group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or affinity (by marriage or other relationship). The purpose of the family is to maintain the well-being of its members and of society. Ideally, families offer predictability, structure, and safety as members mature and learn to participate in the community. Historically, most human societies use family as the primary locus of attachment, nurturance, and socialization. Anthropologists classify most family organizations as matrifocal (a mother and her children), patrifocal (a father and his children), conjugal (a wife, her husband, and children, also called the nuclear family), avuncular (a man, his sister, and her children), or extended (in addition to parents and children, may include grandparents, aunts, uncles, or cousins). The field of genealogy aims to trace family lineages through history. The family is also an important economic unit studied in family economics. The ...
