FOREIGN MARRIAGE ACT 1892 - SECT 13

Avoidance of objections to marriages on account of want of formalities or authority of officer.

13.(1) After a marriage has been solemnised under this Act it shall not be
necessary, in support of the marriage, to give any proof of the residence for
the time required by or in pursuance of this Act of either of the parties
previous to the marriage, or of the consent of any person whose consent
thereto is required by law, nor shall any evidence to prove the contrary be
given in any legal proceeding touching the validity of the marriage.

(2) Where a marriage purports to have been solemnised and registered under
this Act in the official house of a British ambassador or consul, ... it shall
not be necessary in support of the marriage, to give any proof of the
authority of the marriage officer by or before whom the marriage was
solemnised and registered, nor shall any evidence to prove his want of
authority, whether by reason of his not being a duly authorised marriage
officer or of any prohibitions or restrictions under the marriage regulations
or otherwise, be given in any legal proceeding touching the validity of the
marriage.
