K., I posted #106 before I read yours.

Thanks, this gives me something to think about.

Question: can there be marriage in the Orthodox Church without consent?

"Question: can there be marriage in the Orthodox Church without consent?"

In all honesty I don't think that's an issue, though one has to wonder what would happen in some instance of gross coercion, as Agrarian proposed. As we have said, there are no vows in the sacrament; in fact the bride and groom say nothing.
