SECTION 1. Section ten of Act Numbered Thirty-six hundred and thirteen, known as the Marriage Law, is hereby amended to read as follows:
"SEC. 10. Issuance of marriage license. — The local civil registrar shall post during ten consecutive days at the main door of the building where he has his office a notice the location of which shall not be changed once it has been placed, setting forth the full names and domiciles of the applicants for marriage licenses, their respective ages, and the names of their parents if living or of their guardians or persons in charge if otherwise. The license applied for shall be issued at the expiration of said period; but if either of the applicants and a priest or minister of the religion professed by such applicant state in writing and under oath that the rules and practices of the church, sect, or religion under which the marriage is to be contracted require banns or publications prior to the solemnization of the marriage, and that said church, sect, or religion complies with said rules and practices and has obtained the proper certificate from the Director of the Philippine National Library, it shall not be necessary for the local civil registrar to make the publication required in this section, and in this case the license shall be issued immediately after the filing of the application stating therein the church, sect, or religion in which the marriage is to be solemnized. Neither shall such publication be necessary if the father, mother, guardian, or person in charge of each of the contracting parties, whether the latter be over or under twenty, if male, or eighteen years of age, if female, accompany the same when they apply for the license, in which case such license shall be issued immediately, after preparation of a document in duplicate signed by the persons above mentioned, the duplicate to be attached to the license and the original to be filed."
