No alteration in any Register of Marriages shall be made except as authorised by this Law.
Any clerical error which may from time to time be discovered in any such Register of Marriages may be corrected by the Registrar General or any person authorised in that behalf by him, subject to the prescribed rules.
An error of fact or substance in any Marriage Register may be corrected by entry in the margin in red ink (without any alteration in the original entry) by the Registrar General upon production to him by either of the parties to the marriage, or in case of his or her death by the issue or other lawful representative of such party, of a statutory declaration setting forth the nature of the error and the true facts of the case.
