With regard to your question concerning the so-called
Marriage Tablet printed on page 47 of the supplement of the British Prayer
Book, this is not a Tablet, but a talk ascribed to the Master by Mirza Ahmad
Sohrab. It was given some time in December, 1918 about Sohrab's marriage. It
cannot be regarded as Bahá'í scripture as 'nothing can be considered as
scripture for which we do not have an original text', as the beloved Guardian
pointed out. The friends may use this talk, but it is not to be considered as
scripture.

Assembly of South and west Africa, published in Bahá'í Journal of the
United Kingdom, No. 218, August 1973; compilation: ‘Lights of Guidance’)
