Caveats may be lodged

1 Any person may lodge with any Registrar a caveat against the marriage of any person named in the caveat on the ground that the marriage is one in respect of which a licence should not be issued under this Act. 2 Every caveat shall be in writing signed by or on behalf of the caveator, and shall state his or her full name and residential address and the particular grounds of objection on which the caveat is founded. 3 Notice of any caveat may be given to any Registrar other than the Registrar with whom it was lodged. The notice shall be in writing signed by or on behalf of the caveator, and shall state his or her full name and residential address, the date and place of lodgement of the caveat, and the grounds of objection on which the caveat is founded. 4 Until the caveat has been withdrawn by the caveator or has been discharged as provided by section 26 , no licence in respect of the marriage of the person to whom the caveat relates shall be issued by any Registrar with whom the caveat has been lodged or to whom notice of the caveat has been given in accordance with this section, and no such Registrar shall solemnise the marriage.
