The Marriage Act 1949 (12, 13 & 14 Geo 6 c 76) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom regulating marriages in England and Wales. The Act had prohibited solemnizing marriages during evenings and at night. Since the Marriage Act 1836 it had been forbidden to marry between the hours of six in the evening and eight in the morning. This prohibition was repealed〔The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, (section 114 )〕 on 1 October 2012.〔The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (Commencement No. 3) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/2234), (article 3(m) )〕 The Marriage Act 1949 was the first Act to be enacted under the Consolidation of Enactments (Procedure) Act 1949.〔O Hood Phillips. A First Book of English Law. Fourth Edition. Sweet and Maxwell. 1960. Page 90.〕 ==Section 2== This section re-enacts the corresponding provision in section 1 of the Age of Marriage Act 1929.〔Bromley and Lowe. Bromley's Family Law. Eighth Edition. Butterworths. 1992. p 35.〕 In 1971, Eekelaar wrote that the prohibition now contained in this section "though desirable, is extreme and inflexible." According to him it could result in "genuine hardship", such as where it is discovered, after years of apparent marriage, that a mistake was made, at the time of the ceremony, regarding the age of one of the spouses, or where one of the spouses concealed their real age, though, after 1971, some protection was afforded by section 6 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1970〔John Eekelar. Family Security and Family Breakdown. Penguin Books. 1971. p 59. ()〕 (now repealed and replaced by the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marriage Act 1949」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
