The Foreign Marriage (Amendment) Order 2013
This Order amends the Foreign Marriage Order 1970 to remove the test of domicile in respect of the parties to a consular marriage with the result that the parties to such a marriage will elect under which jurisdiction (England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland) they wish to be married, rather than this being determined by where they are domiciled.
