Hilgya: a redemption arc?

(Not that he would, anyway, because for all I know, consent is required for a marriage to be lawful under Church law. Emotional coercion may be handwaved away, but a crossbow to the head? I don't think so)

You are correct. If you are interested, the law you refer to is here. (It's a dry read).
FWIW, coercion of any form IRL won't be waved away if a marriage is contested as invalid; it forms the basis for annulment. (My cousin went through that about 30 years ago. It all worked out for her, but it took a bit of time and effort).

Spoiler: what the rules say

Canon Law clearly states that for a marriage to be valid in the eyes of the Church, the consent of both parties is required. Can. 1057 §1. The consent of the parties, legitimately manifested between persons qualified by law, makes marriage

Anyway, enough about that RL digression, the full text of the analogous rules in Dwarf Land are not as easily accessible, so we can only guess based on what we know so far.
