Foreign Marriage Act 1947 (1947 c 33)

The Foreign Marriage Act 1947 (1947 c 33) was introduced to address the legal recognition of marriages solemnised abroad by British subjects. This legislation was specifically designed to ensure that marriages conducted outside the United Kingdom, where at least one party is a British subject, would be legally valid in the UK. The Act outlines the conditions under which these marriages are to be registered and recognised, thereby providing clarity and stability for British citizens marrying abroad and standardising the legal processes involved in such unions.
