We examine the relations between the symmetry group of a crystalline or solid body and the line singularities in the deformation (or microstructural) field which the material can support. A method is developed which, in some relevant cases allows us to describe a singularity by means of a suitable DeRham current, supported on the defect submanifold. This current measures the obstruction to the extension of the local deformation (or microstructure) to a globally defined field. The procedure described here yields the basis of a formulation of weak field equations for a defective material, and clarifies the structure of the compatibility relations for virtually any class of material symmetry.
