Marriage Licenses Act

The Marriage Licenses Act is legislation that governs the process of obtaining a marriage license, which is a legal document required to get married. It sets out the rules and requirements, such as age, residency, and necessary documents needed by couples wishing to marry. This act ensures that marriages are legally recognized and helps prevent issues like marriage fraud. Generally, couples must apply for the license through a designated authority, often a local government office, and may need to wait a specific period before the marriage ceremony can take place.
