Concepts of Domicile and Residence

Deals with how marriage nature is affected by change of domicile or residence, changing from polygamous to monogamous, compliance with Part three of Cap 127 else conversion isn’t successful. Per In Re Appiah (Decd) Yeboah v Appiah-supra since mandatory provisions of Cap 127 not complied with, celebration in Methodist church not proper, still a customary marriage.

Setse v Setse, Carr v Carr since Cap 127 hasn’t been complied with, conversion hadn’t taken place. Ali v Ali if one of parties, husband acquiring domicile of England though previously married polygamous in India, acquires domicile of choice in another country, marriage automatically converts to monogamous if marriage in new domicile is monogamous, English courts therefore had jurisdiction to grant divorce applied by man.
