mentioned in Section 5 of the ^ct may solemnize marriages of
British subjects in Bahrain, but I venture to think that such
a position in Bahrain is open to some objection as Bahrain is
an independent MuhamiBedan State and it is particularly desir
able, in Tiew of our special position here, that no difficulty
should arise over the marriage of a British subject, such as,
for example, that quoted in the next paragraph* I would add
that the Arabian Mission (Dutch Reformed ^hurch) have always
accepted our claim that only the Registrar of Carriages (!•©.,
the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
) can perform the actual marriage of British
subjects in Bahrain, though they have also performed a service
in their Church afterwards on a number of occasions# In any
case they would e pear to require a license under Section 5(s)
of the Indian Christian Marriage Act as they do not receive
episcopal ordination#
8. A possible solution of the difficulty in the seventh
paragraph above would be for the Governor General-in-Comicil
to give a license to the Heverend Father ^amb under Section 6
of the Indian Christian Marriage Act* But if this were to be
done in his ease, it would be difficult to refuse to grant
similar licenses in other cases# The Clergy of the A r abian
Mission might ask for a license, but I should prefer that they
should not have licenses, as in such matters their evangflcal
zeal is apt to outrun their discretion, -^'or example, they
recently urged upon me the marriage of a young Arab woman with
a British Indian subject, but did not te.1.1 we that she had
recently got into trouble in her village# I naturally made
enciuiries before solemnising such a marriage and, as it
happened, discovered the truth# fortunately, however, the
Bahrain Government were able to inform me that the relations
of the girl would not make trouble#
