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 for, time and/or marriage:

    The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean—when boredom seems the very stuff of life.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to
    dance;
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. III, 4)

    A funeral is not death, any more than baptism is birth or marriage union. All three are the clumsy devices, coming now too late, now too early, by which Society would register the quick motions of man.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
