Section 69 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 lays down that if a maker, whether man or woman, of a will marries after making the will, the will is revoked. This is revocation by operation of law. The principle upon which a will is revoked by marriage is that marriage creates such a change in the testator’s condition with new obligations and duties, they raise an inference that the testator would not adhere to a will made before the marriage. It includes codicil too.

This section does not apply to Hindus and Muhammadan.
