Any person who objects to being sworn shall be permitted to make his solemn affirmation instead of taking an oath.

Subsection (1) above shall apply in relation to a person to whom it is not reasonably practicable without inconvenience or delay to administer an oath in the manner appropriate to his religious belief as it applies in relation to a person objecting to be sworn.

A person who may be permitted under subsection (2) above to make his solemn affirmation may also be required to do so.

A solemn affirmation shall be of the same force and effect as an oath.
