Marriage Act 1961 (Australia)
The Australian Marriage Act 1961 is a law made by the Australian Parliament which regulates the rules for the recognition throughout Australia of marriages. The 1961 Act has been amended a number of times. The Act applies uniformly throughout Australia, and States and Territories are precluded from making any law inconsistent with the Act. Australian marriage law does not recognise any other forms of marriage, including traditional Aboriginal marriages,〔Australian Government, Law Reform Commission - (Aboriginal Traditional Marriage: Areas for Recognition )〕 same-sex marriages, nor polygamous marriages, but has since 2009 recognised de facto relationships.〔Family Law Act of 2009.〕
==Definition of marriage==
Before the ''Marriage Amendment Act 2004'' there was no definition of marriage in the 1961 Act, and the definition was based in the common law. The 2004 Amendment incorporated the common law definition of marriage into the Act as:
''Marriage means the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life.''
''Certain unions are not marriages. A union solemnised in a foreign country between: (a) a man and another man; or (b) a woman and another woman; must not be recognised as a marriage in Australia.''〔http://parlinfoweb.aph.gov.au/piweb/view_document.aspx?ID=1541&TABLE=OLDBILLS〕
