The 1949 Marriage Act (12, 13 & 14 Geo 6 c 76) is a Royal Parliament Act governing marriages in England and Wales.
The law forbids marriage to be performed at night and at night. Since the Marriage Act of 1836, it is prohibited to marry between six o'clock and eight o'clock in the morning. This ban was lifted on October 1, 2012.
The Marriage Act of 1949 is the first law enacted under the 1949 Consolidation of Enforcement Act (Procedure).

Bagian 2
This section re-applies the relevant provisions in section 1 of the Age of Marriage Act 1929.
In 1971, Eekelaar wrote that the current prohibition in this section is "though desirable, extreme and inflexible." According to him it could lead to "real difficulties", such as where it was found, after years of clear marriage, that mistakes were made, at the time of the ceremony, concerning the age of one spouse, or where one of the couples hid their true age , although, after 1971, some protection was granted by section 6 of the Law Reform (Other Provisions) Act 1970 (now revoked and replaced by the 1975 Legacy (Provisions for Families and Dependents) Act).

Royal Family
Charles's marriage, Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005 questioned whether civil marriages were available to members of the British royal family. Lord Falconer, Lord Chancellor, answered the House of Lords that he thought the marriage was in accordance with the 1949 Act - although documentary evidence showed no.
