just a thought but may I suggest that a far less equivocal couching of the pertinent premises would be as follows, : any person who knows , or subsequently ascertains information which could lead to a disolution of the matrimonial contract is required by law to : a) inform the registrar directly, or b) inform the registrar and the police directly, or at the earliest opportunity, and in any event, within 24 hours of disclosure.. all said being effective without constraint of time or vitality of either partner.
