What if the wife discovered that her husband was the baby boy that her mother had, and gave up for adoption when she was 15??....still a valid marriage????

And that happens all the time, right?

It sounds an awful lot like the arguments for supporting abortion.

What if........(posit some rare to never occurring scenario to justify disobeying God.)

I think some people need to pay a little more attention to the news.

Would this marriage be valid or not?

Based on GOD’S standards, the One who defined marriage, no, it is not marriage.

GOD prohibits incest and the other situations are sin.

However, that still does not invalidate my contention.

The Catholic church does not own the concept of marriage and nowhere in Scripture is it shown to have been given sole authority to determine what a *valid* marriage is.

The Catholic church sets itself up as the final authority on everything and by claiming that only Catholic marriages performed by a Catholic priests to practicing Catholics is valid, puts EVERYONE else married outside of it as living in sin.

A Hindu marriage between a man and woman is as much as marriage in the eyes of God as a Catholic one done the *right* way. The Catholic church blessing it is meaningless.

Annulment is simply church sanctioned divorce and all this nonsense about *valid* marriages are nothing more than an excuse to get out of a marriage one no longer wants to be in, all for a fee, of course.
