Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) A marriage that
was void under the Royal Marriages Act 1772 of Great Britain, so far as that
Act was part of the law of the State before its repeal by section 11, is to be
treated as never having been void if —
(a)
neither party to the marriage was one of the 6 persons next in the line of
succession to the Crown at the time of the marriage; and
(b) no
consent was sought under section 1 of that Act, or notice given under section
2 of that Act, in respect of the marriage; and
(c) in
all the circumstances it was reasonable for the person concerned not to have
been aware at the time of the marriage that the Act applied to it; and
(d) no
person acted, before the commencement of this subsection, on the basis that
the marriage was void.
(2) Subsection (1)
applies for all purposes except those relating to succession to the Crown.
