If a settler in Quebec who came from France or another European country took a native woman as his wife, and the couple exchanged vows in the presence of a Catholic priest and two witnesses, the marriage would be considered valid according to Church law. If a setter took a native woman as his wife outside the presence of a priest and two witnesses, the marriage would not be considered valid according to church law. In brief, he would be considered as single.

I don't know how the Catholic church would handle this situation so I would
appreciate any input.
If a man had a native "spouse" and had a child, then later married a woman
in Quebec would this show as a second marriage or would he be listed as single?
