§  13.  Marriage  licenses.  It  shall  be  necessary  for all persons
  intended to be married in New York state to obtain  a  marriage  license
  from a town or city clerk in New York state and to deliver said license,
  within  sixty  days,  to  the clergyman, magistrate, or one-day marriage
  officiant as designated by a town or  city  clerk  pursuant  to  section
  eleven-d  of  this  article  who  is  to  officiate  before the marriage
  ceremony may be performed. In case of a marriage contracted pursuant  to
  subdivision  four  of section eleven of this chapter, such license shall
  be delivered to the judge  of  the  court  of  record  before  whom  the
  acknowledgment  is  to be taken. If either party to the marriage resides
  upon an island located not less than twenty-five miles from  the  office
  or  residence  of  the  town clerk of the town of which such island is a
  part, and if such office or residence is not on such island such license
  may be obtained from any justice of the peace residing on  such  island,
  and  such  justice, in respect to powers and duties relating to marriage
  licenses, shall be subject to the provisions of this  article  governing
  town  clerks and shall file all statements or affidavits received by him
  while acting under the provisions of this section with the town clerk of
  such town. No application for a marriage license shall be denied on  the
  ground that the parties are of the same, or a different, sex.
