2.(1) Where arrangements have been made to the satisfaction of His Majesty
with any foreign country for the issue by the proper officers of that country,
in the case of persons subject to the marriage law of that country proposing
to marry British subjects in [any part of the United Kingdom other than
Scotland], of certificates that, after proper notices have been given, no
impediment according to the law of that country has been shown to exist to the
marriage, His Majesty may, by Order in Council, make regulations

(a)requiring any person, subject to the marriage law of that foreign country,
who is to be married to a British subject in [any part of the United Kingdom
other than Scotland], to give notice of the fact that he is subject to the
marriage law of that country to the person by or in the presence of whom the
marriage is to be solemnised; and

(b)forbidding any person to whom such a notice is given to solemnise the
marriage or to allow it to be solemnised until such a certificate as aforesaid
is produced to him.

(2) If any person knowingly acts in contravention of, or fails to comply with,
any such regulation, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and shall be liable
to a fine not exceeding one hundred pounds, or to imprisonment for a term not
exceeding one year.

(3) Nothing in this section shall be taken to relate or have any reference to
any marriages between two persons professing the Jewish religion solemnised
according to the usages of the Jews in the presence of the secretary of a
synagogue authorised by either the Births and Deaths Registration Act, 1836,
or the Marriages (Ireland) Act, 1844, or by the Marriage and Registration Act,
1856, to register such a marriage, or of a deputy appointed by such secretary
by writing under his hand, and approved by the president for the time of the
