This rule is simple and easy to apply. It should be obvious to parties wishing to marry that they should comply with the local formalities, and legal advice is usually conveniently available. The only drawback to this rule is th ...

Three public policies are relevant in the general Conflict system: Avoiding so-called “limping marriages”.
