(2) The Governor may grant such licence without payment of any fee, or on payment of such reduced fee as, under the special circumstances of the case, he may think sufficient.
12. Before the Registrar General issues any certificate and before the Governor grants any licence, one of the parties to the intended marriage shall appear personally before the Registrar General and make affidavit (which the Registrar General is hereby authorised to take) that he or she believes that there is not any impediment of kindred or alliance or any other lawful hindrance to the marriage, and either that the consent of the parties required by law to consent to the marriage has been obtained or that no such consent is required.
13. If either party to the intended marriage, not being a widower or a widow, is under 21 years of age, the written consent of the father, or, if he is dead or non compos mentis, of the mother, or, if both are dead or non compos mentis, of the lawful guardian of such party, must be produced to the Registrar General before he issues a certificate or to the Governor before he grants a licence.
14. If there is no parent or guardian of such party residing in the Colony and capable of consenting, the Registrar General may give his consent in writing to the marriage, if on inquiry the marriage appears to him to be proper, and such consent shall be as effectual as if the father or mother or guardian had consented.
15. (1) Any person whose consent is required as aforesaid may forbid the issue of the Registrar General's certificate by writing the word "Forbidden" opposite the entry in the Marriage Notice Book, and by signing his name and the character in which he forbids the issue.
(2) If the issue of any certificate is so forbidden, the notice and all proceedings thereupon shall be void.
16. (1) If either of the parties to the intended marriage alleges that the person forbidding the issue of the certificate is not authorised by law to do so, the Registrar General shall inquire into the matter, and if he is satisfied that the person is not so authorised, he may proceed to issue the certificate in due course, without reckoning the time that has elapsed since the issue was forbidden.
