- aA religious marriage alone, without going to the town hallLe mariage religieux seul, sans passage à la mairie
- bA marriage decided by the families without the spouses’ consentLe mariage décidé par les familles sans l’accord des époux
- cThe marriage of a person who is already marriedLe mariage d’une personne qui est déjà mariée
- dA civil marriage performed at the town hallLe mariage civil célébré à la mairieCorrect answer
Why?
In France, only civil marriage, performed by the civil registrar (officier d’état civil) at the town hall (mairie), has legal value. A religious ceremony may take place afterwards, but it does not replace the civil marriage. Forced marriage and polygamy are forbidden.
