'[TAMIL NADU'J ACT No. VIII OF 193Y

The Tamil Nadu Christian Marriages Validation Act, 1934

General19344 sections

This Act validates marriages performed by Mr. A. Asirvatham between August 7 and November 15, 1933, while his government licenses to solemnize unions for Indian Christians were revoked. It applies to all couples married during this specific period and the certificates issued for these ceremonies. The law matters because it removes legal uncertainty caused by the license cancellation, ensuring that marriages witnessed under the Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872, remain valid. By ratifying these unions, the state prevents potential divorce proceedings and family issues stemming from a clerical or administrative error regarding licensing.
