On the balance of probabilities the court found Madam So was validly married to the deceased in 1963 and that Madam Lam did not validly marry the deceased prior to 7 October 1971; because the alleged marriage occurred after that date (or was void by reason of the prior valid marriage) it is not recognized by Hong Kong law under the MRO; accordingly the plaintiffs succeed and are entitled to administration of the estate.
