Marriage
Marriage. Marriage as understood in Christendom is the voluntary union for life of one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others, Hyde v. Hyde, 1866 LR 1 P&D 130. Where a marriage in a foreign country complies with these requirements it is immaterial that under the local law dissolution can be obtained by mutual consent or at the will of either party with merely formal conditions of official registration, and it constitutes a valid marriage according to English law, Nachimson v. Nachimson, 1930, P. 217. Previous to 1753 the validity of marriage was regulated by ecclesiastical law, not touched by any statutory nullity but modified by the Common law Courts, which sometimes interfered with the Ecclesiastical Courts, by prohibition, sometimes themselves decide on the validity of a marriage, presuming a marriage in fact as opposed to lawful marriage. A religious ceremony by an ordained clergyman was essential to a lawful marriage, at all events for dower and heirship; but if in an i...
Magna Carta
Magna Carta, [Latin 'great charter'] The English charter that King John granted to the barons in 1215 and Henry III and Edward I later confirmed. It is generally regarded as one of the great common-law documents and as the foundation of constitution liberties. The other three great charters of English Liberty are the Petition of Right (3 Car. (1628)), the Habeas Corpus Act (31 Car. 2 (1679)), and the Bill of Rights (1 Will. SM. (1689)). Also spelled Magna charta, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 963.This Great Charter is based substantially upon the Saxon Common Law, which flourished in this kingdom until the Normaninvasion consolidated the system of feudality, still the great characteristic of the principles of real property. The barons assembled at St.Edmund's Bury, in Suffolk, in the later part of the year 1214, and there solemnly swore upon the high alter to withdraw their allegiance from the Crown, and openly rebel, unless King John confirmed by a formal charter the ancient li...

Banns of marriage
Banns of marriage. 'Banns' is the plural of 'Bann' or 'Ban,' an edict or prohibition. The Prayer Book of 1662 directed banns of marriage to be published in church 'three several Sundays or Holy Days immediately before the sentences for the offertory' (this was in the Rubric prefixed to the Form of Solemnisation), but also after the Nicene Creed, together with many other notices separated from those sentences by the sermon (this direction was in the Rubric following the Nicene Creed, and the two directions do not seem quite consistent). In 1753 (English) Lord Hardwicke's Act (26 Geo. 2, c. 33), directed publication during morning service, or evening service if there be no morning service, immediately after the Second Lesson; and about 1809 the Rubrics were altered by the king's printers of their own motion to bring them into agreement with Lord Hardwicke's Act, which, however, may possibly have referred in its alteration to the evening service only. The (English) Marriage Act, 1823 (4 G...
