* Jactitation Of Marriage *


 

JACTITATION OF MARRIAGE - Eng. eccl. law. The boasting by an individual that he or she has married another, from which it may happen that they will acquire the reputation of being married to each other.

The ecclesiastical courts may in such cases entertain a libel by the party injured, and on proof of the facts, enjoin the wrong-doer to perpetual silence and make him pay the costs as a punishment.
