In the cases of the Half-Elven, Eärendil and Elwing and their sons, Manwë was given authority to judge whether they should be reckoned among Elves or Men, and he let them choose for themselves. But to make an Elf share the fate of Men, or make a Man share the fate of the Elves, that is a much more severe alteration of Eru's gifts and beyond the authority of the Valar. In the case of Luthien, Eru was the only one who had the power to take such a decision, but it was Manwë among the Valar who listened to Eru's voice in his heart and spoke the doom. Quote:
