The marriage of the accused with Rampiari is subject to the provisions of the Marriage Ordinance 1918. Learned counsel for the accused has ably set out the general provisions of\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
 that Ordinance and traced out the historical inception and progress of the law. I need not therefore recapitulate and it suffices to commence from the proviso to s. 63 (now repealed) of that Ordinance. S. 63 enacts a penalty for wrongfully procuring a ma

S. 26 enacts a penalty on the solemnization of a marriage by an unregistered person but expressly states that the validity of the marriage shall not be affected in such case. S. 27 enacts a penalty on a priest or marria\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0
