119 MARRIAGE--(Consent of Parents--Non-Bahá'í Participants)
"Regarding the question whether it is necessary to obtain the
consent of the parents of a non-Baha'i participant in a marriage
with a Bahá'í; as Bahá'u'lláh has stated that the consent of the
parents of both parties is required in order to promote unity
and avoid friction, and as the Aqdas does not specify any exceptions
to this rule, the Guardian feels that under all circumstances
the consent of the parents of both parties is required."
