First line... "In general, marriages between non-Catholics, of whatever religion, are considered valid". After that, it lists the exceptions to that. If you would have read Title TITLE VII. MARRIAGE (Cann. 1055 - 1165), Chapters I, II and III, it says basically the same thing. Christian Marriages outside the Catholic Church are valid so long as certain rules are not violated such as:
1/ a marriage of transients;
2/ a marriage which cannot be recognized or celebrated according to the norm of civil law;
3/ a marriage of a person who is bound by natural obligations toward another party or children arising from a previous union;
4/ a marriage of a person who has notoriously rejected the Catholic faith;
5/ a marriage of a person who is under a censure;
6/ a marriage of a minor child when the parents are unaware or reasonably opposed;
You haven't proved a thing except that you're stubborn.
The burden of proof is on you to know what the heck you are talking about in the first place.
