I just found an english version of the Monaco Constitution, amended in 2002. Nowhere it is mentioned that the family members have to ask for permission to marry, and if not would lose their place in the line of succession. I think if that was the case it should be written down in the Constitution.
The wikipedia line of succession shows what most of us believe is the right order , unless we cannot trust wikipedia.
What is "The House Law" of Monaco, I just don't understand the difference between House Law and the Constitution. Is this "House Law" published somewhere ?
Is there such a law with other Royals (I know it is in GB), that would be interesting to know.

I have posted the link to the first publication of the 2015 house law five times in this thread over the last two weeks, including in a reply just four posts up and in my prior reply to you here.
Here is the link again.

And here is the text of Article 24, from the link:
Sans préjudice des dispositions de l’article 21, le mariage d’un membre de la Famille Souveraine contracté sans l’autorisation du Prince Régnant emporte exclusion de l’ordre successoral, tant pour celui qui a contracté ce mariage que pour ses descendants.
Néanmoins, en cas de dissolution du mariage et en l’absence d’enfant issu de ce dernier, l’héritier qui l’a contracté recouvre sa place dans l’ordre successoral si aucune succession n’est intervenue à la date où la dissolution est devenue définitive.
L’autorisation prescrite en vertu du premier alinéa est délivrée par Décision Souveraine.
I am not sure I understand the rest of your post - are you suggesting that the house law is somehow invalid but Wikipedia is legally binding?
