Consent of parents

When the priest met with a couple that wanted to be married, one thing that needed to be determined is if they had the consent of the parents if they were under the age of 21. The marriage record from November 16, 1862 for Antoni Raczkiewicz and Marianna Grabek says, “They received their parents’ verbal permission to the wedding.” Another example is from 1829. When Szczepan Czarnopyś and Pelagia Romanowicz were married, they were 21 and 20 years old and both mothers gave their verbal consent to this marriage. Their fathers were deceased.
