Answer and explanation

Section 48 separately provides that a Marriage Officer outside the Act's territorial extent sends copies to an authority specified by the Central Government. This is the text's special transmission route. It should not be treated as a current power to appoint diplomatic or consular Marriage Officers under this Act; overseas marriages are governed separately by the Foreign Marriage Act, 1969.
