Clause 16 - Sections 10 to 15: marriage exception
Sexual Offences Bill [Lords]
9:30 am

Mr Stephen Hesford (Wirral West, Labour)

I shall be obliged if the hon. Gentleman will help me with a matter. Clause 16(1)(a) states:

''at the time, A and B are lawfully married.''

Does not that mean ''lawfully married'' within the laws of this country? What else can it mean?
