After seven days for marriage by licence, or twenty-one days for marriage without licence, certificate of notice to be given, upon demand in form in schedule (B).

16. [Subject to the provisions of this section] after the expiration of seven
days if the marriage is to be solemnized by licence, or of twenty-one days if
the marriage is to be solemnized without licence, after the day of the entry
of such notice, the registrar, upon being requested so to do by or on behalf
of the party by whom the notice was given, shall issue under his hand a
certificate in the form of schedule (B) to this Act annexed, provided that no
lawful impediment be shown to the satisfaction of the registrar why such
certificate should not issue, and provided that the issue of such certificate
shall not have been sooner forbidden in manner herein-after mentioned by any
person or persons authorized in that behalf as herein-after is provided; and
every such certificate shall state the particulars set forth in the notice,
the day on which the notice was entered, and that the full period of seven
days or of twenty-one days (as the case may be) has elapsed since the day of
the entry of such notice, and that the issue of such certificate has not been
forbidden by any person or persons authorized in that behalf; and for every

required by the foregoing provisions of this section may be required to be
given only
