A marriage entered into outside England and Wales between parties neither of whom is already married is not void under the law of England and Wales on the ground that it is entered into under a law which permits polygamy and that either party is domiciled in England and Wales.
This section does not affect the determination of the validity of a marriage by reference to the law of another country to the extent that it falls to be so determined in accordance with the rules of private international law.
Section 5 above shall be deemed to apply, and always to have applied, to any marriage entered into before commencement which is not excluded by subsection (2) or (3) below.
That section does not apply to a marriage a party to which has (before commencement) entered into a later marriage which either—
is valid apart from this section but would be void if section 5 above applied to the earlier marriage; or
is valid by virtue of this section.
That section does not apply to a marriage which has been annulled before commencement, whether by a decree granted in England and Wales or by an annulment obtained elsewhere and recognised in England and Wales at commencement.

For the purposes of subsections (3) and (4) above a marriage which has been declared to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction in any proceedings concerning either the validity of the marriage or any right dependent on its validity shall be treated as having been annulled.
Nothing in section 5 above, in its application to marriages entered into before commencement—

payable before, or in respect of a period before, commencement; or
payable in respect of the death of a person before that time;
affects tax in respect of a period or event before commencement; or
affects the succession to any dignity or title of honour.
In this section “commencement” means the commencement of this Part.
A person domiciled in Scotland does not lack capacity to enter into a marriage by reason only that the marriage is entered into under a law which permits polygamy.
For the avoidance of doubt, a marriage valid by the law of Scotland and entered into— has, so long as neither party marries a second spouse during the subsistence of the marriage, the same effects for all purposes of the law of Scotland as a marriage entered into under a law which does not permit polygamy.
under a law which permits polygamy; and
at a time when neither party to the marriage is already married,

The rules in this Part apply for choosing the law (in this Part referred to as “the applicable law”) to be used for determining issues relating to tort or (for the purposes of the law of Scotland) delict.
The characterisation for the purposes of private international law of issues arising in a claim as issues relating to tort or delict is a matter for the courts of the forum.
The rules in this Part do not apply in relation to issues arising in any claim excluded from the operation of this Part by section 13 below.
The applicable law shall be used for determining the issues arising in a claim, including in particular the question whether an actionable tort or delict has occurred.
The applicable law to be used for determining the issues arising in a claim shall exclude any choice of law rules forming part of the law of the country or countries concerned.
For the avoidance of doubt (and without prejudice to the operation of section 14 below) this Part applies in relation to events occurring in the forum as it applies in relation to events occurring in any other country.
In this Part as it extends to any country within the United Kingdom, “the forum” means England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, as the case may be.
In this Part “delict” includes quasi-delict.
The rules of the common law, in so far as they— are hereby abolished so far as they apply to any claim in tort or delict which is not excluded from the operation of this Part by section 13 below.
require actionability under both the law of the forum and the law of another country for the purpose of determining whether a tort or delict is actionable; or
allow (as an exception from the rules falling within paragraph (a) above) for the law of a single country to be applied for the purpose of determining the issues, or any of the issues, arising in the case in question,
The general rule is that the applicable law is the law of the country in which the events constituting the tort or delict in question occur.
Where elements of those events occur in different countries, the applicable law under the general rule is to be taken as being—
for a cause of action in respect of personal injury caused to an individual or death resulting from personal injury, the law of the country where the individual was when he sustained the injury;
for a cause of action in respect of damage to property, the law of the country where the property was when it was damaged; and
in any other case, the law of the country in which the most significant element or elements of those events occurred.
In this section “personal injury” includes disease or any impairment of physical or mental condition.
If it appears, in all the circumstances, from a comparison of— that it is substantially more appropriate for the applicable law for determining the issues arising in the case, or any of those issues, to be the law of the other country, the general rule is displaced and the applicable law for determining those issues or that issue (as the case may be) is the law of that other country.
the significance of the factors which connect a tort or delict with the country whose law would be the applicable law under the general rule; and
the significance of any factors connecting the tort or delict with another country,
The factors that may be taken into account as connecting a tort or delict with a country for the purposes of this section include, in particular, factors relating to the parties, to any of the events which constitute the tort or delict in question or to any of the circumstances or consequences of those events.
Nothing in this Part applies to affect the determination of issues arising in any defamation claim.
For the purposes of this section “defamation claim” means—
any claim under the law of any part of the United Kingdom for libel or slander or for slander of title, slander of goods or other malicious falsehood and any claim under the law of Scotland for verbal injury; and
any claim under the law of any other country corresponding to or otherwise in the nature of a claim mentioned in paragraph (a) above.
Nothing in this Part applies to acts or omissions giving rise to a claim which occur before the commencement of this Part.
Nothing in this Part affects any rules of law (including rules of private international law) except those abolished by section 10 above.
Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (2) above, nothing in this Part—
authorises the application of the law of a country outside the forum as the applicable law for determining issues arising in any claim in so far as to do so—
would conflict with principles of public policy; or
would give effect to such a penal, revenue or other public law as would not otherwise be enforceable under the law of the forum; or
affects any rules of evidence, pleading or practice or authorises questions of procedure in any proceedings to be determined otherwise than in accordance with the law of the forum.
This Part has effect without prejudice to the operation of any rule of law which either has effect notwithstanding the rules of private international law applicable in the particular circumstances or modifies the rules of private international law that would otherwise be so applicable.
