The Foreign Marriage Act, 1969
This 2022 edition of The Foreign Marriage Act, 1969 (Act 33 of 1969) reproduces the Act verbatim with the Foreign Marriage Rules, 1970. Short comments distil Ministry-of-External-Affairs circulars on digital registration, apostille, and same-sex-marriage jurisprudence under comparative law—while keeping the Bare-Act pristine.
