Under Art. 9. A marriage license shall be issued the local civil registrar of the city or municipality where either contracting party habitually resides, except in marriage where no license is required in accordance with law...
This provision is useful in small communities where the people know one another, because the names of the applicants for marriage license are posted by the local civil registrar under Art. 17 of the code, and any one who knows of an impediment to an intended marriage may inform him about it.
The violation of this provision will not, however invalidate the marriage license, but the party who falsified his or her application for marriage license by stating that he or she is a resident of the place where the license was applied for , is criminally liable
The solemnizing officer is not required to investigate whether or not the license was issued in the place required by law
Hmm... ok.
I have two questions:
1) There is mentioned 'marriage where no license is required', what cases are those?
2) Is it mentioned how long before the actual marriage ceremony should the couple apply for a marriage license? In other words, is there a minimum amount of time between application of the license and the actual ceremony?
Don't be shy to leave a comment it's more appreciated
