ST Suppl., q. 48

Of the Object of the Consent

Supplementcompiled posthumously from Aquinas's early Sentences commentary

We must now consider the object of the consent. Under this head there are two points of inquiry:

(1) Whether the consent that makes a marriage is a consent to carnal intercourse?

(2) Whether consent to marry a person for an immoral motive makes a marriage?
