- Whether compulsory consent makes a marriage as regards the party who uses compulsion?
Whether compulsory consent makes a marriage as regards the party who uses compulsion?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that compulsory consent makes a marriage, at least as regards the party who uses compulsion. For matrimony is a sign of a spiritual union. But spiritual union which is by charity may be with one who has not charity. Therefore marriage is possible with one who wills it not.
❌ Objection 2 : Further, if she who was compelled consents afterwards, it will be a true marriage. But he who compelled her before is not bound by her consent. Therefore he was married to her by virtue of the consent he gave before.
