Licence authorises but not obliges marriage celebrant to solemnise marriage

1 A marriage licence shall authorise but not oblige any marriage celebrant to solemnise the marriage to which it relates. 2 Without limiting the generality of subsection (1) , no celebrant who is a minister of religion recognised by a religious body enumerated in Schedule 1 , and no celebrant who is a person nominated to solemnise marriages by an approved organisation, is obliged to solemnise a marriage if solemnising that marriage would contravene the religious beliefs of the religious body or the religious beliefs or philosophical or humanitarian convictions of the approved organisation.
