These regulations make a minor amendment to the Marriage (Authorised Persons) Regulations 1952 which prescribe the manner in which the marital condition of the parties to a marriage is to be described in marriage registers kept by authorised persons, who register marriages which take place, without the presence of a registrar, in buildings registered for the solemnization of marriages. The amendment is made to accord with section 5 of the Nullity of Marriage Act 1971 (c.44) The regulations prescribe the manner in which the condition of a party to a marriage is to be described where the previous marriage of such a party was annulled on the ground that the marriage was voidable.
