"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.

Thanks to you for your attention to these questions, your patience is appreciated. I hope you don't mind if I keep asking; I'm trying to get the big picture!
Hmm. Here's another: Is adultery the only grounds for divorce in the Orthodox Church?

Well. If a false or non-existent union was blessed would that create a union that here-to-fore didn't exist?
