My mother used to tell my sisters and myself that in some extreme cases ( war / imminent death (plane crash, boat sinking) being isolated on a stranded island) two people can get married in front of God without a priest simply by pronouncing three times "I take you as spouse / husband "(Je t'épouse en français)). Can you debunk my beliefs please. I have no idea of the veracity of this fact. Is it possible in extreme cases to get married without a priest by taking God as a "witness " ?

Thx 🙏🏻
