Friar Lawrence has already married Juliet to Romeo and knows that she would be committing bigamy if she married Paris, which would be a crime. He also knows that Juliet does not want to marry Paris and is being forced into the marriage, which is also a crime.

However he does not want to have to admit that he has already married her to someone other than Paris, since it would bring the wrath of Capulet down on him.
