Did Americans in the later half of the 18th-century have more freedom in choosing a partner?

There was no law limiting the freedom to choose a marital partner except that some states did not allow interracial marriage. How anyone allowed family to influence them had nothing to do with freedom. Was anyone legally imprisoned for not obeying they parents?? Churches taught that the Bible required children to obey their parents at all times and for life. Only the foolish beleived that to be true. Honor does not mean obey.
