Her parents Johann Schnitzler and Elisabeth Schnitzler nee Graever, are both deceased and thus not able to give their parental consent to her marriage with Adolph Kreyenbrink

he therefore applied to the court, as a family member and grandfather, to act in the role of the past parents, and gave his consent to the marriage with Adolph Kreyenbrink

He requested that the court would agree with this marital union and grant permission for them to marry

Thank you both, that is wonderful.  This helps in filling in a lot of blanks, although I am still surprised that a 40 year old woman would still need her parents consent to marry.  The wedding finally took place on 6 June!

Maybe it's because the groom was quite young (18 years old), if I'm not mistaken.

Yes he was - his father was actually 4 years younger than his bride!  However, they did make it to the church on time, as their first child was born just 5 weeks later.

Thanks again

One would expect an 18 year old pregnant bride with a 40 year old groom, here it was the opposite.
