(3) A person who has given notice of objection may, at any time, withdraw the objection in writing. Obligations of the Church Minister in relation to objections. 18C. (1) Upon receiving the notice of objection, the person in charge of a public place of worship shall hear the objection forthwith and if the person in charge of a public place of worship considers that the objection requires further hearing, he or she shall postpone the marriage ceremony until such time as the objections will be determined in accordance with the church regulations. (2) The person in charge of a public place of worship shall determine an objection within a reasonable period which shall not be more than seven days after hearing the objection. (3) Upon determination of an objection, the person in charge of a public place of worship shall prepare and submit a report of the process of determination of the objection in the prescribed form to the parties and the Registrar within seven days of the determination. (4) Any party dissatisfied with the decision of the person in charge of a public place of worship may appeal to the court within fourteen days of the decision. The Committee had discussions with the stakeholders and all the persons concerned within the Christian religion and it was proposed that Clauses 18 through to 26 do not apply to Christian marriages. Therefore, Clauses 18 to 26 were proposed for deletion, transferred to be under civil marriages and new Clauses 18A, 18B and 18C are introduced."
