Extracts from Chapter 151, Revised Laws, relating to Marriage in Massachusetts.
A marriage may be solemnized in any place within this commonwealth by a minister of the gospel, ordained according to the usage of his denomina- tion, who resides in this commonwealth and continues to perform the functions of his office ; by a rabbi of the Israelitish faith, duly licensed by a congre- gation of said faith established in this commonwealth, who has filed with the clerk or registrar of the city or town in which he resides a certificate of the establishment of the synagogue, the date of his appointment thereto and of the term of his engagement ; by a justice of the peace if he is also clerk or assistant clerk of a city or town, or a registrar or assistant registrar, in the city or town in which he holds such office, or if he is also clerk or assistant clerk of a court, in the city or town in which the court is authorized to be held, or if he has been designated as provided in the following section and has received a certificate of designation and has qualified thereunder, in the city or town in which he resides ; and it may be solemnized among Friends or Quakers according to the usage of their societies ; but no person shall solemnize a marriage in this commonwealth unless he is able to read and write the English language. [Section 30.]
The governor may in his discretion designate a justice of the peace in each city and town and such further number, not exceeding one for every five thousand inhabitants of a city or town, as he considers expedient, to solemnize marriages, and may for cause at any time revoke such designation. [Section 37.]
Every justice of the peace, minister, rabbi and clerk or keeper of the records of a meeting wherein marriages among Friends or Quakers are solem- nized shall make and keep a record of each marriage solemnized by him, or in such meeting, and of all facts relative to the marriage which are required to be recorded. He shall also, between the first and tenth days of the month following each marriage solemnized by him, return each certificate to the clerk or registrar who issued the same; and if the marriage was solemnized in a city or town other than the place or places in which the parties to the marriage resided, return a copy of the certificate, or of either certificate if two were issued, to the clerk or registrar of the city or town in which the marriage was solemnized. Each certificate and copy so returned shall contain a statement giving the place and date of marriage, attested by the signature of the person who solemnized the same or of said clerk or keeper of the records of a Friends or Quaker meeting. The person who solemnized the marriage shall add the title of the office by virtue of which the marriage was solemnized, as "justice of the peace", "minister of the gospel", "clergyman", "priest" or "rabbi", and his residence. All certificates or copies so returned shall be recorded by the clerk or registrar who receives them. Whoever neglects to make the record and returns required by the provisions of this section shall for each neglect forfeit not less than twenty nor more than one hundred dollars. [Section 32.]
No alteration or erasure shall be made by any person on such certificate, until it has been returned to the possession of such clerk or registrar, and then only in such form and to such extent as said clerk or registrar may prescribe. Any such certificate may be recorded after correction in accordance herewith. [Section 24.]
Whoever performs a ceremony of marriage upon a certificate more than six months after it is issued, and whoever having taken out such certificate and not having used it fails to return it, within six months after it is issued, to the office issuing the same, shall be punished by a fine of not more than ten dollars. [Section 45.]
