- CACV46/1986
The Court allowed the appeal because the trial judge misinterpreted the expert evidence; on proper construction the 1940 marriage satisfied the statutory test of a monogamous marriage under s.2(b) (consent could be inferred and the marriage was not rendered polygamous by local custom), so the applicant is entitled to have the maintenance issue remitted to the District Court for assessment.
