Under the first head there are three points of inquiry: #### (1) Whether either party after the marriage has been consummated can enter religion without the other's consent? #### (2) Whether they can enter religion before the consummation of the marriage? #### (3) Whether the wife can take another husband if her former husband has entered religion before the consummation of the marriage? ####  |
