Clause 5

Every marriage contracted in contravention of the provisions of section 4 of this Ordinance shall be invalid.

If any male person lawfully married under any law, religion, custom or usage shall during the continuance of such marriage contract a union with a woman which but for such marriage would confer rights of succession or inheritance upon such woman or upon the issue of such union, no issue of such union shall be legitimate or have any right of inheritance in or succession to the estate of such male person, and no such woman shall have any such right by reason of the death intestate of such male person.

Nothing in this section shall affect the liability of any person to pay such maintenance as may be directed to be paid by him under any written law.
