Treatment of certain marriages
14Regulations may provide—
(a)for a voidable marriage which has been annulled, whether before or after the date when the regulations come into force, to be treated for the purposes of such provisions of, or of any regulations under, this Act, subject to such exceptions or conditions as may be prescribed, as if it had been a valid marriage which was terminated by divorce at the date of annulment;
(b)for the purposes of this Act, the Industrial Injuries Act or the Family Allowances Act, as to the circumstances in which a marriage celebrated under a law which permits polygamy is to be treated as having the same consequences as a marriage celebrated under a law which does not;
and regulations made for the purposes of sub-paragraph (b) above may make different provision in relation to different purposes and circumstances.
