Maybe you are the one to answer the question I asked earlier about whether the Catholic Church could grant this girl special dispensation for an annullment which might at least give her parents a fighting chance.
Jamaicans get to smoke pot for religious reasons. Indigenous peoples here get to do many things for Tribal and religious reasons.
Couldn't the Church take a very strong stand here?

It wouldn't affect the civil marriage--and that's the one that counts in court.

The Catholic Church cannot begin annulment proceedings until a civil divorce has been granted. And an annulment is a strictly "religious" matter anyway. It has no effect on her civil status in law.
