presumption of marriage

presumption of marriage
The very strong presumption that a marriage, once shown, is legal and valid. 35 Am J1st Mar § 192. The presumption, where legitimacy is in issue, that the relations between a man and woman who produced offspring were lawful rather than meretricious. 10 Am J2d Bast § 10. If a former marriage is necessary to sustain the presumption of legitimacy, such marriage will be assumed until proof to the contrary is forthcoming. Re Mathew's Estate, 153 NY 443, 47 NE 901.
