MA v JA (Attorney General intervening) [2012] EWHC 2219 (Fam); [2012] WLR (D) 246
“A ceremony of marriage conducted in England which did not comply with the requirements of the Marriage Act 1949 because the parties had failed to give notice to the registrar with the result that the marriage was solemnised without any certificate being issued, created a marriage which was entitled to be recognised as valid under English law.”
