This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)A person domiciled in Scotland does not lack capacity to enter into a marriage by reason only that the marriage is entered into under a law which permits polygamy.
(2)For the avoidance of doubt, a marriage valid by the law of Scotland and entered into—
(a)under a law which permits polygamy; and
(b)at a time when neither party to the marriage is already married,
has, so long as neither party marries a second spouse during the subsistence of the marriage, the same effects for all purposes of the law of Scotland as a marriage entered into under a law which does not permit polygamy.
