CELEBRATION.--Marriages may be solemnized by duly qualified clergymen of every religious denomination, or by a judge, justice of the peace or other magistrate.

The competency of a Protestant minister to marry two Roman Catholics in the Province of Quebec was called in question by the leading case of Delphit v. Coté, reported in the Quebec Reports, 20 S. C. 338. The plaintiff, who had been baptized as a member of the Roman Catholic Church, was married to the defendant, who, at the time at least, professed the same belief, by a minister of a Protestant denomination, by virtue of a license issued in due form. Subsequently an ecclesiastical court of the Catholic Church declared the marriage null on the ground that two Roman Catholics could only be married by a Roman Catholic priest. Upon appealing to the civil court for an annulment of the marriage because of the ecclesiastical decree, it was held that the ecclesiastical court was entirely without jurisdiction and that the marriage was in all legal respects good and binding. MARRIAGES WITH INDIANS.--A Christian who marries an aboriginal native or Indian cannot exercise in Canada the right of divorce or repudiation of his wife at will, although following the usages of the tribe or "nation" to which his Indian wife belongs such divorces and repudiations are customary and regular. ANNULMENT OF MARRIAGE.--In any of the Provinces, or in Newfoundland, the courts may annul marriages on the ground of fraud, mistake, coercion, duress or lunacy.
