Claim: Adelaide's family demanded Ernesto Balmaceda become engaged to Adelaide after indiscretions between the two.
Evidence: Soon after his arrival, Balmaceda started to court Adelaide and shortly thereafter, the parents of the bride-to-be found out that the young couple already had had sexual intercourse. They then demanded that 19-year-old Ernesto become engaged to Adelaide and "redress the wrong done" to her.
