Er... calling the banns is not rarely-used in Canada. It's routine in some churches. I know friends in Toronto who chose to be married in church because it saved them the cost of a marriage license.

What I don't know is how common such churches are. Does anyone have any statistics on the matter? [anonymous poster]

My understanding is that Hawkes consulted a constitutional expert before reading the banns, due to their rarity in modern marriage practice. Perhaps it's different in other parts of the world, but I believe banns are (were?) rarely used in Canada. CJCurrie 12:44, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, what amounts to publishing the banns is the only path to a legal marriage in Québec. See the Civil Code of Quebec, Book Two s.368, and note (s.373) that the officiant, and not any government clerk, verifies the eligibility of the parties. [anonymous poster #2]
Ah, and while some churches do not read the banns, many others quite straightforwardly provide the option to their congregants. It was plainly discussed in the June 1990 issue of Reformed Worship Note also that the official government Record of Marriage form has a pre-printed "Banns No.", so it's not like trial by combat that's moldering unused on the books.
Given all that, I'm going to go ahead and change the main article. 18:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
