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

Where the registering court pronounces a declaration in the case of a foreign judgment for the dissolution or annulment of a marriage or separation of the parties to a marriage, recognising such judgment in Sri Lanka, the

Registrar of the registering court shall send a copy of such declaration certified by such Registrar as true copy, to the

Registrar-General for the purposes of the Marriage

Registration Ordinance (Chapter 112).
