WHAT DOES JACTITATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Jactitation

In English law, jactitation is the maliciously boasting or giving out by one party that he or she is married to the other. It also exists in law of the Republic of Ireland. In such a case, in order to prevent the common reputation of their marriage that might ensue, the procedure is by suit of jactitation of marriage, in which the petitioner alleges that the respondent boasts that he or she is married to the petitioner, and prays a declaration of nullity and a decree putting the respondent to perpetual silence thereafter. To the suit there are three defences: ▪ denial of the boasting; ▪ the truth of the representations; ▪ allegation that the petitioner acquiesced in the boasting of the respondent. In Thompson v. Rourke, the Court of Appeal laid down that the court will not make a decree in a jactitation suit in favour of a petitioner who has at any time acquiesced in the assertion of the respondent that they were actually married. Prior to 1857 such a proceeding took place only in the Ecclesiastical Court, but by express terms of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1857 it could be brought in the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division of the High Court.
