EXTRACTS


FROM THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS RELATING TO


MARRIAGES


On or after the fifth day from the date of the entry of such intention the clerk or registrar shall deliver to the parties a certificate signed by him, specifying the time when notice of the intention of marriage was entered with him and all facts relative to the marriage which are required by law to be ascertained and recorded, except those relative to the person by whom the marriage is to be solemnized. Such certificate shall be delivered to the minister or magistrate before whom the marriage is to be contracted, before he proceeds to solemnize the same. If such certificate is not used, it shall be returned to the office issuing the same within six months after it is issued. - Revised Laws, Chap. 151, Sec. 23, as last amended by Acts of 1914, Chap. 428.


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 accord- ance herewith. - Revised Laws, Chap. 151, Sec. 24.


A marriage may be solemnized in any place within this commonwealth by a minister of the gospel, ordained according to the usage of his denom- ination, who resides in this commonwealth and continues to perform the functions of his office; by a rabbi of the Israclitish faith, duly licensed by a congregation 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 appoint- ment 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 assist- ant 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 quali- fied thereunder, in the city or town in which he resides; and it may be solem- nized 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. - Revised Laws, Chap. 151, Sec. 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 designa- tion. The secretary of the commonwealth shall, upon payment of five dollars to him by a justice of the peace so designated, issue to him a certifi- cate of such designation. - Revised Laws, Chap. 151, Sec. 81.


Every justice of the peace, minister, rabbi and clerk or keeper of the records of a meeting wherein marriages among Friends or Quakers are solemnized 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 cer-


tificate . .. to the clerk or registrar who issued the same; and if the mar- riage 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 state- ment 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 rec- ords 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", " clergy- man", "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. - Revised Laws, Chap. 151, Sec. 32.


Whoever, not being duly authorized by the statutes of this common- wealth, undertakes to join persons in marriage in this commonwealth shall be punished by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars or by im- prisonment for not more than one year, or by both such fine and imprison- ment. - Revised Laws, Chap. 151, Sec. 40.

The secretary of the commonwealth shall require all copies which are transmitted under the provisions of the preceding section to be written in a fair and legible hand, and a city or town clerk who neglects or refuses to make or cause to be made fair and legible copies as required shall forfeit not less than twenty nor more than one hundred dollars, to the use of the commonwealth. - Revised Laws, Chap. 29, Sec. 19.
