Relating to the last question I asked, if the essential component of marriage for the Reformed is consent (see here https://reformedbooksonline.com/topics/topics-by-subject/family/marriage/) what do we make of the war captives? If they had no consent to marriage, it would seem they were not validly married. But if they did have consent, then could not they dissent from the marriage?
