Excerpt from The Ne Temere Decree: Strong Speech in Its Defence The courts of the provinces cannot dissolve a marriage they merely pronounce upon the validity of the contract, that is to say, whether or not a valid marriage has or has not been con tracted. If not properly contracted the judgment is a declaration of annulment. If a marriage has taken place and the parties seek to dissolve the union, they have to appear before another tribunal. The Legislatures of the respective Provinces of the Dominion provide by statute for the forms and conditions precedent to the valid entry into the marriage relation. It is in their power only, to say by whom, and in what manner parties may contract marriage, and by that same power they may fix such limitations upon the capacity of parties as may be by such Legislatures deemed expedient. And if the' conditions prescribed by statute are not complied with, there may be no marriage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
