Parents whould have no rights over a spouse.Parental rights end after marriage.
What if a written legal directive of a spouse appoints parents as the legal guardian -- and not the spouse? That would have to be honored. So, the parents' right may or may NOT end, depending on the wishes of that adult child spouse.

What kind of religious "marriage" would not make the spouse legal guardian? Perhaps not Christian...
What is a civil "marriage," if it does not make the spouse the legal guardian?
