Answer:
This is provided in KRS §402.990. It reads:
“***
(4) Any unauthorized person who solemnizes a marriage under pretense of having authority, and any person who falsely personates the father, mother, or guardian of an applicant in obtaining a license shall be guilty of a Class D felony.
***”
Therefore, the person thus personated shall be guilty of a Class D felony.
