    In Canada, what does it mean to have a marriage by "proxy"?

    Question #110833. Asked by apathy100. (Nov 17 09 1:34 PM)


    BRY2K

    		A proxy marriage is a marriage where someone stands in for the other party. That is, either the bride or the groom is not physically present for the wedding. During the solemnization of the marriage, based upon a power of attorney, an agent acts on behalf of one of the parties.

    In Canada, proxy marriage is only recognized if the marriage was performed in a jurisdiction that allows proxy marriage.
