Discussion
Which of the following is not considered to be the power of a marriage officer under Special Marriage Act ?
Answer: C
The option that is not a power of a marriage officer is maintaining the marriage dissolution book.
Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 the marriage officer solemnizes and registers marriages and keeps the Marriage Certificate Book. When he inquires into an objection to a notice of intended marriage, the Act gives him the powers of a civil court under the Code of Civil Procedure, including discovery and inspection and issuing commissions for examining witnesses.
Divorce under the Act is granted by the district court, not the marriage officer, and there is no 'marriage dissolution book' that he maintains.
