Requirement of like consent to marriage as in England, and power to forbid marriage.
|
4.—(1) The like consent shall be required to a marriage under this Act as is required by law to marriages solemnized England.
|
|
| |
(2) Every person whose consent to a marriage is so required may, at any time before the solemnization thereof under this Act, forbid it by writing the word “forbidden” opposite to the entry of the intended marriage in the book of notices, and by subscribing thereto his name and residence, and the charact by reason of which he is authorised to forbid the marriage; and if a marriage is so forbidden the notice shall be void, and the intended marriage shall not be solemnized under that notice.
