The celebrant must examine the affidavit signed by the contracting parties to verify compliance with the requirements required by this title. Then he will sign it together with the contracting parties and the two witnesses of the act to formalize the celebration of the marriage. However, if you know or suspect that the parties are prevented by law from marrying, you cannot authorize the union. If the marriage is celebrated before a notary, the relatives within the fourth degree of consanguinity or second degree of affinity can act as witnesses of the contracting parties.
