Jactitation

Jactitation or jactitation of marriage was an archaic cause of action in English and in Irish law. Where one person falsely asserted that he or she was married to another, the wronged party could obtain an order restraining further repetitions of the falsehood. The action was abolished in England in 1986 and in Ireland in 1995.
