It hath been laid down in the Bayan [the Bab's Revelation] that marriage is dependent upon the consent of both parties [bride and bridegroom]. Desiring to establish love, unity and harmony amidst Our servants, We have conditioned it, once the couple's wish is known, upon the permission of their parents, lest enmity and rancor should arise amongst them. - Kitab-i-Aqdas
(114:2)
