Deployed Parents Custody and Visitation Act

Flagging a mismatch first: these section titles are marriage-formation law (licensing, solemnization, records). They have nothing to do with the Deployed Parents Custody and Visitation Act, which covers custody and visitation when a parent is on military deployment. Either the act name or the section mapping is wrong upstream — publishing this text on that act's page would be visibly wrong content. Here is the overview the titles actually support, so it's usable once you know which side is misattributed: This act governs the legal formation of marriage, setting out who is eligible to marry and requiring a license before a marriage may be performed. It establishes the licensing procedure — the evidence and application required, fees, the contents of the license, and who is authorized to solemnize a marriage — together with rules for endorsing and returning the completed license and maintaining the resulting records as official evidence of the marriage. It also addresses premarital counseling, restricts recognition of marriages between persons of the same gender, and shields religious organizations and their officials from being compelled to solemnize or recognize a marriage. Two things worth your call: the same-gender recognition provision is unenforceable under *Obergefell* even where it remains on the books, so a reference site probably wants that surfaced rather than described neutrally. And if you tell me which script generates these overviews, I'll trace how the sections got attached to the wrong act.
