Text

If a spouse who receives compensation under the provisions of subsection 1 of section
65-05-17 remarries, there shall be paid to such spouse a lump sum equal to one hundred four
weeks' compensation. If, prior to such marriage, such spouse has received a partial lump sum
settlement which covers all or any portion of the said one hundred four weeks following such
spouse's marriage, the amount of such partial lump sum settlement which covers all or any part
of the said one hundred four weeks following such spouse's marriage shall be deducted from
such marriage settlement, and the spouse shall receive only the remainder, if any, over and
above such deduction. Any judgment annulling such marriage shall not reinstate the right of
such spouse to compensation if the action for annulment is instituted more than six months after
the marriage. The provisions of this section apply only to remarriages that occur before
August 1, 2003, regardless of the date of injury or date of death of the decedent.
