In prison

A marriage can take place in a prison as long as the prison authorities agree that the marriage can be performed there.  This agreement must be in the form of a statement signed by the prison governor not more than twenty one days before you give your notices of marriage.  The person in prison must give their notice to the local Superintendent Registrar.  An additional statutory fee will be necessary for the registrar having to visit the prison to take the notice.  The other party to the marriage will also have to give a notice to the registrar of the district in which they live.  The marriage (either civil or religious) must take place within 3 months of giving the first notice.
