Christian Law of Marriage in India - Indian Christian Marriage Act - Time For Solemnising Marriage

Time For Solemnising Marriage

Every marriage under the Act shall be solemnised between the hours of six in the morning and seven in the evening. However, this restriction will not apply to a Clergyman of the Church of England in India from solemnising a marriage under a special licence permitting him to do so at any hour other than between six in the morning and seven in the evening, under the hand and seal of the Anglican Bishop of the Diocese or his Commissary, or a Clergyman of the Church of Rome in India from solemnising a marriage between the hours of seven in the evening and six in the morning, when he has received a general or special licence in that behalf from the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese or Vicariate in which such marriage is so solemnised, or from such person as the same Bishop has authorised to grant such licence, or a Clergyman of the Church of Scotland solemnising a marriage according to the rules, rites, ceremonies and customs of the Church of Scotland.

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or marriage:

    And what avails it that science has come to treat space and time as simply forms of thought, and the material world as hypothetical, and withal our pretension of property and even of self-hood are fading with the rest, if, at last, even our thoughts are not finalities, but the incessant flowing and ascension reach these also, and each thought which yesterday was a finality, to-day is yielding to a larger generalization?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It appears that ordinary men take wives because possession is not possible without marriage, and that ordinary women accept husbands because marriage is not possible without possession; with totally differing aims the method is the same on both sides.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
