Note 1176 — Chapter IX · THE PROTESTANT CONCEPTION OF MARRIAGE
Reading edition
The church ordinances require sometimes only parental consent; sometimes only witnesses; or again the solemnization of the betrothal in church is prescribed, with the sanction of nullity or else a mere penalty for non-observance: Sohm, op. cit., 206, 207; Friedberg, Eheschliessung, 212 ff., 224, 225. Richter's Evangelische Kirchenordnungen are analyzed by Meier, Jus, quod de forma mat. valet, 49 ff.; and Goeschen, Doctrina de mat., 42 ff.
