35  Validation of things purportedly done under the Marriage Act 1961
(1) This item applies to a thing purportedly done under the Marriage Act 1961 before the commencement of this item, to the extent that the thing purportedly done would, apart from this item, be invalid because:
 (a) Division 1 of Part V of that Act, as inserted by this Schedule, was not in force; and
 (b) no person was validly appointed as the Registrar of Overseas Marriages.

Validation
(2) The thing purportedly done is as valid and effective, and is taken always to have been as valid and effective, as it would have been if:
 (a) that Division had been in force; and
 (b) a person had been validly appointed as the Registrar of Overseas Marriages.
