Ordinance, issued by the government of the Kingdom of Bohemia [Present-day Czech Republic]: “Every Jew who wishes to get married must supply a written report on his progress in German language, issued by the Christian Superintendent of Schools. The only Jews exempt from this requirement are those who, in the year 1786, had already reached the sixteenth year of their age. Those found in contravention of this law are to be punished according to Section 38 of the Third Book of the Civil Law, and those who officiated the wedding are to be removed from their office, and to be declared permanently unfit for the same.”
