Resumen
- The Bible never mentions eloping. It tells of betrothals, wedding feasts and witnesses at the town gate, but it sets no ceremony, officiant or vows.
- Under Catholic canon law, when at least one party is Catholic, a marriage is valid only before a priest or deacon and two witnesses (canons 1108, 1117).
- La Arquidiócesis Ortodoxa Griega de América requiere una boda por la iglesia, y un cristiano ortodoxo casado fuera de la Iglesia no puede recibir la Sagrada Comunión.
- Luther called weddings “worldly affairs,” and the Church of England blesses couples who are already married in a civil ceremony.
- Catholic teaching says grown children owe their parents respect rather than obedience, and it asks parents not to press a child’s choice of spouse (Catechism 2217, 2230).
- The Council of Trent in 1563 and England’s Marriage Act of 1753 both acted against secret marriages, and English couples then eloped to Gretna Green in Scotland.
