| Summary: | A minister of religion is a citizen like any other and as such must comply with law. He must therefore be held accountable for any reprehensible acts he may commit. In this respect, religion does not affect the criminal (or civil) liability of the minister of religion. More specifically, the latter cannot argue that the motive for committing an offence is religious in nature in order to avoid liability. We refer in this paper only to the criminal liability of the minister of religion directly related to the performance of his duties, by highlighting two main offences: the disclosure of secret information and the celebration of religious marriage before civil marriage. |
