In Pennsylvania, the relevant law regarding ministers and weddings is found in the Pennsylvania Statutes, Title 23, Chapter 15, Section 1503. This section outlines who is authorized to solemnize marriages in the state. According to this law:
- A minister, priest, rabbi, or other ordained clergyman of any regularly established church or congregation is authorized to perform marriages.
- Judges, including district judges, senior judges, and justices of the peace, are also authorized to solemnize marriages.
It’s important to note that Pennsylvania law does not specifically address online ordination. However, the general practice in many states, including Pennsylvania, is to recognize marriages performed by ministers ordained online by organizations that are considered legitimate and regularly established.
