Section 8 deals with registration. Section 12(1)(a) covers non-consummation owing to the respondent’s impotence, and section 12(1)(d) addresses pregnancy by someone other than the petitioner at the time of marriage. Section 12(1)(b) refers to breach of the conditions in section 5(ii), which concern mental capacity and the specified mental health grounds.

Section 8 belongs with registration. Section 12(1)(a) belongs with non-consummation owing to impotence, and section 12(1)(b) belongs with the specified capacity or mental health conditions.
