 A Marriage Consent Law enforced by Metternich expressly forbade marriages by men in Schubert's class if they could not verify their ability to support a family.Schubert's application in April 1816, eventually rejected, for the post of music teacher at a teachers' training college in "Laibach" (now Ljubljana, Slovenia) may have been in part driven by his awareness to gain some financial security to make marriage to Therese possible.On 21 November 1820 Therese married Johann Bergmann (24 June 1797 – 1875), a baker.
