118 MARRIAGE, BAHÁ'Í (Consent of Parents-- duty of Assembly to ascertain validity)
"With reference to the matter of the consent of the parents
to a Bahá'í marriage: As this is a vital binding obligation, it is
the duty of the Assemblies to ascertain, before giving their
sanction, that the consent obtained has been given freely by the
parents themselves."
