No marriage license will be issued to parties, either of whom is under twenty-one years of age, unless one of the parties makes oath that the consent of the proper persons has been obtained, or that there is no person alive whose consent would ordinarily be necessary. A marriage may be legally concluded without a marriage license if banns are duly published. HOURS FOR MARRIAGE.--Marriages can only be solemnized between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., except in the case of marriages by special license and Jewish marriages. FALSE NAMES.--Where both parties conspire to procure banns to be published in a false name or names or to practise a fraud with the object of obtaining a license the marriage may be annulled, but if the one party only is guilty the marriage will be valid. MARRIAGE BY REPUTATION.--In most cases it is necessary to produce clear evidence of a marriage ceremony, but in some exceptional instances a marriage may be proved by long reputation--_e.g._, if two persons have lived together as man and wife for many years, and if they have always been regarded as such by their friends and neighbours, the Court will presume a legal marriage unless evidence is produced to prove that the parties were not lawfully married. CERTIFICATES OF MARRIAGES--MARRIAGE LINES.--A marriage certificate (marriage lines) can be obtained at the time of the marriage for 2s. 7d. If applied for subsequently the cost will be 3s. 7d. A certificate can be obtained at the church, chapel, synagogue or meeting house where the ceremony was performed, or at the General Register Office, Somerset House, or at the office of the superintendent registrar of the district where the marriage took place. The entry in the register at either of these places may be inspected on payment of 1s. A certificate of a marriage entered into in England or Wales prior to July 1, 1837, should be obtainable either from the registrar general or from the church where it was solemnized.
