Marriages are solemnized under the Christian marriage Act 15 of 1872.
A Christian is one who professes the religion of Jesus Christ and Indian Christians include native converts to Christianity and their Christian offspring.
Under this Act a reverend of religion is licensed to solemnize marriages, those who are appointed under this Act or those who have received Episcopal ordination and the clergymen of the Church of Scotland can conduct the ceremony.
The Act applies when one or both the parties to the marriage is or are Christians.
The Christian marriage Act is only concerned with the forms in which the marriage is to be solemnized and where the marriage is solemnized by a Marriage Registrar appointed under the Act.
