eloper
Fled-to-wed person
An eloper is someone who elopes—typically running away secretly to get married without parental consent or public ceremony.
The word appears occasionally in news and literature but remains uncommon: The elopers crossed the state line to avoid the waiting period.
In medical contexts, an eloper is a patient who leaves a facility without authorization.
