“Yes. Do you have any real life example of someone who involuntarily was forced into marriage (i.e. by having a gun held to their head).”

Yes. I know of a case, resolved in California in which those were excatly the circumstances. The “marriage” took place in Mexico. The woman believed that she was genuinely married even though she had a gun to her head (her back actually if I remember correctly) and only years later was she disabused of that belief after fleeing to the US and talking to a canon lawyer. I got this straight from the canon lawyer and he would never lie to me and said the woman was clearly not lying to him because she really thought she had been married even though it was against her will and without her free consent.

“Again, provide one real example of where this has occurred.”

Done.

“Of course. But anyone who claims a ‘truth’ that contradicts what God has said in scripture is not telling the truth.”

Nothing I said has HAS EVER contradicted scripture. Your interpretation is your own. I can contradict that all day long and not contradict scripture once.
