Nullity of Marriage Act 1971

The Nullity of Marriage Act 1971 was the first time in British law that marriage was defined as being between a male and a female. A marriage could therefore be annulled if the partners were not respectively male and female.
The Act was repealed, and the provisions re-iterated by the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, which is still in force.
