Capacity to marry
 
May we draw your attention to Section 18 of the Marriage Act, 1975, which states that:
 
A marriage, whether celebrated in Malta or abroad, shall be valid for all purposes of law in Malta if:
 
(a)  As regards the formalities thereof, the formalities required for its validity by the law of the country where the marriage is celebrated are observed.
 
(b)  As regards the capacity of the parties, each of the persons to be married is, by law of his or her respective domicile, capable of contracting marriage.
 
Because of this Section of the law, may we remind you that, should it be necessary to comply with any marriage laws in order that your marriage may also conform to the laws of your country of domicile, it is your responsibility to take care of such requirements.
