KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Jactitation of Marriage
Jactitation of marriage refers to a false claim made by a person that they are married to someone when in reality no such marriage exists. Historically, this could lead to legal proceedings aimed at stopping the spread of such false assertions, particularly where they could harm reputation or create legal confusion.
Although proceedings for jactitation were abolished by the Family Law Act 1986, the courts may still grant an injunction to restrain such claims. This is important where repeated false statements could lead to a presumption of marriage or other unintended legal consequences.
