s 12Protesting marriage

Any person whose consent is required under section 7 to a marriage or any person who is aware of any just impediment to the marriage may, before the solemnisation of the marriage, give notice of his objection verbally or in writing and thereupon the marriage shall not be solemnised until the minister of religion has inquired into the matter and is satisfied that the marriage may lawfully proceed.
