The Silent Moment During Marriage

Would you cause an uproar ??? If you knew of an impediment, but yet have been invited in good faith. "If any person here present knows of any reason why this couple may not be joined in holy matrimony, then let them speak now, or forever hold their peace".

Would you be a criminal

I suppose that depends upon whos getting married.

if it were my best friend? I'd speak up if i had a good enough reason.

If it were some random dude... I'd stay quiet and let him learn it the hard way

If the wedding was boring ? What the hell...

No I disagree, then you are criminal.

This is flawed.

The murder that would occur by make any false statements at that time!

People do speak up, the minister I know said it happened to him once, the bride, groom and speaker went with him into a side room and had a quick conversation, a short time later all emerged and the wedding went ahead.

The other one I remember being told about was when the minister asked if there was anyone who had a reason and a little old lady stood up and made her way forward. The bride and groom were both looking at each other and the lady and wondering what was up.
The old dear made her way to the front then sat down, it turns out she had a hard time hearing, so she moved closer to the front!

Am I (we) to take it, therefore that if I (we) know of an impediment which would nulify the solemnisation of the contract , let us say example : that the bride were the grooms brothers deceased sons widow, persuant to the marriage act, that I (we) would not be legally required to disclose said information to the registrar?? Surely then, the marriage even upon our silence would be a criminal act, to which we would be party. Furthermore, what if a presently unknown impediment presents itself to me (us) at some point in the future, this subject matter is not covered in the vicars statement.
