Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

“(5) The minister shall, within seven days from the date of the solemnizing of the marriage, separate from the register book the duplicate statement of the marriage and transmit the same to the District Registrar within whose district the marriage was solemnised together with a fee specified in the second schedule to this Act, as may be prescribed by the Minister from time to time, which is payable to such Registrar for the registration of such marriage.”.
