Basically an illicit form, it was a music - jazz - that the Nazis in wartime Paris had banned because it related to several things that they didn't want to deal with like Americans, Jewishness, blacks, so they banned it. So it became the official resistance music in clubs. Discotheques started out in this completely illicit environment, they weren't tolerated by the state, and they never lost that underground appeal. --Peter Braunstein | + | #: ''The bigamous marriage, while [[illicit]], was not invalid.'' |

Usage notes
Licit and valid are legal terms to be compared, especially in terms of canon law. With bigamy, if there is an innocent party, the innocent party is validly married; the problem is with the guilty party, who has entered into an illegal second marriage without first divorcing the earlier spouse. The marriage is valid in canon law (and often, civil law), but the guilty party goes to jail nonetheless, in that the marriage is illicit (and illegal), and the innocent party routinely receives a fast annulment and the full sympathy of the court. A corollary is that the children born of such unions are inherently legitimate.
Illicit may refer to:
- illicit antiquities
- illicit drug trade
- illicit major
- illicit minor
- illicit work
- Illicit Streetwear clothing company
- Illicit (Dance music group)
- Illicit (1931 film), a Pre-Code film starring Barbara Stanwyck
