I certainly think its necessary because as the say goes, a person may be smart but people are stupid. If the whole of Muggles found out about magic, panic would ensue. Also, people hate things different then themselves and magic is definitely different. Muggles would fear wizards and, as it always goes, try to harm them or regulate them and I'm just envisioning magic internment camps or something. However, there should definitely be extenuating circumstances. Besides being able to perform magic in the face of legitimate danger (like Harry did when the Dementors attacked him and Dudley), there should be an exception for marriages! We know that sometimes wizards marry Muggles (Dean's parents and Cho Chang off the top of my head) and shouldn't these wizards be allowed to practice magic in view of their spouses? The law doesn't seem to extend to telling Muggles you are a wizard (see: all the muggleborn's parents) but only against doing magic. And that just doesn't seem fair to me. You may say, if you are going to marry a Muggle, this is a sacrifice you must make and I guess some people can make that sacrifice but I just don't think they should have to. Marriage law should cancel out the Statue of Secrecy. Because it's not illegal to practice magic in front of a Squib and isn't that kind of the same thing?
