By his will A gives a sum of money to B if B marries with the consent of A's executors. B marries during A's lifetime, and A afterwards approves of the marriage. A then dies. What is the result?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Illustration (vi) to section 128 holds that "The bequest to B takes effect". The executors' consent was meant to stand in for the testator's own judgment after his death, and A himself approved of the marriage. Under section 128 that is substantial compliance with the condition.
