What is the purpose of the ‘Search for Marriage Records’ service?
Marriage is an institution that affects not only the legal status of two parties in relation to each other, but also their legal status in relation to others who have dealings with them. Hence, the law allows anyone to search the State Marriage Register to find out whether it contains marriage records of a particular person.
