Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ratzlaff Estate, 2002 SKCA 53 (CanLII):
The section uses the words “the marriage of the testator” and “made in contemplation of the marriage”. The section therefore requires that the statement be referable to a specific marriage as opposed to marriage in general. See In re Sedgwick Estate;[37] Owers v. Hayes;[38] Re Pluto.[39]
