Statutory Marriage Requirements (Continued)

Generally speaking, In Virginia, the statutory requirements for a marriage in Virginia are mandatory, rather than directory, and therefore require strict compliance. Thus, Virginia does not follow the majority view, found in most states, that marriage requirements are directory and require only substantial compliance to constitute a valid marriage.

As usual, every law has exceptions.  Consult with a Charlottesville lawyer to get the full scoop.
