Nonsense. If they took marriage vows, be them Catholic, Protestant, whatever, they made a vow with their own mouths. A vow is a vow.

So.....if you discover that the person that you just married is your sister who was given up for adoption before your mom got married....that is still a valid marriage???

Leviticus 18:1-5,9,11New International Version (NIV)

 

1 The Lord said to Moses, ² “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘I am the Lord your God. ³ You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. ⁴ You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God. ⁵ Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord.

 

⁹ “‘Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.

 

¹¹ “‘Do not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.

If you discover that your wife has made a vow to the Lord not to have sexual relations with you; is THAT still a valid marriage?
