What is the minister obligated to do if someone objects to the marriage?

Just curious, what would the paster have to do if someone did object to the couple who is planning to say their ';I do';? My cousin is supposed to get married today and my Grandma literally hates her husband to be. She said she will object to the wedding. Not sure if she really will, but if she does, what will happen?What is the minister obligated to do if someone objects to the marriage?
Depends on the pastor. Some will stop %26amp; find out if there is a ';just cause'; (such as already married; which is why this started being asked in the first place)


If not they will proceed. If the objector continues they WILL be removed from the ceremony by an usher. If they persist, usually the cops are called.





But I've known some ministers that walk off the platform %26amp; cancel the wedding. If there is no reason the minister will perform a short ceremony the next day in his study.





Advise Granny to keep her mouth shut, or tell the pastor what's in store for him.


Thisis why couples are opting to not include this in their ceremony. With any luck, the pastor won't.What is the minister obligated to do if someone objects to the marriage?
I believe the standard procedure is for the person officiating (minister, judge, ship's captain, etc.) to take the person objecting along with the bride and groom to a private place. Once there, the objection can be addressed. If it's just something simple like, ';I don't want him to marry her,'; the wedding goes on (provided the bride and groom still want to marry one another).





If it's something major like, ';He's still married to me,'; the wedding cannot proceed until all of the legal necessities are taken care of. Everyone leaves, taking the gifts with them.
Your cousin should just remove the ';Does anybody object...'; from the wedding. The pastor doesn't have to ask it, and has no obligation to do anything unless someone can present information why the couple should not be LEGALLY married, such as one of the them is already married.
