"The Fourth Lateran Council's listing of marriage as a sacrament wasan important step in a trend that had been gaining momentum in theprevious century--demanding a church ceremony for legitimation of amarriage. In the year 1000 the majority of people in Christian Europewere not married in a church ceremony. Marriage involvedGermanic-style cohabitation, frequently signified by the giving of aring. By 1200 perhaps the people in Western Europe, particularlyamong the wealthier and more literate classes, were married by apriest. After the Fourth Lateran Council, sacramental marriage in thechurch became the prescribed norm, although in 1500 there were stillsome peasants who were married by the simple rite of cohabitation. Ifthe family involved had property, church marriage was now a necessityin order to assure legitimacy of offspring and uncontestedinheritance. This was a way of increasing the importance of thepriesthood in everyday life."
para. 2
"...Until the Fourth Lateran Council, if you married within theseventh degree of consanguinity (someone who was your cousin seventimes removed), you needed church approval. The common practice wasto do this without license from the church. ...The Fourth LateranCouncil narrowed the ban to the third degree of consanguinity (tothird cousins)."
