Consent of parents for Baha’i marriage
The validity of a Bahá'í marriage is dependent upon the free
and full consent of all four parents. The freedom of the parents in the
exercise of their right is unrestricted and unconditioned. They may refuse
their consent on any ground, and they are responsible for the decision to God
alone.
