The applicant was legally married to another person until 11 November 1977 and therefore had no capacity to enter a valid marriage with the deceased; coupled with the statutory abolition of Chinese customary marriage from 7 October 1971, the purported customary marriage could not establish her as the lawful kit-fat widow, therefore the probate application must be dismissed.
