Can a Catholic Marry a Non Catholic?



newlywed

You may have been wondering, can a Catholic marry a non catholic? In this article, we will cover some of the basic issues surrounding the practice. This includes how to observe indissolubility as well as how to get a canonical dispensation for a non Catholic parish.

Observance of insolubility

The Church has established the indissolubility requirement for marriage when you marry someone who is not a Catholic. The Church is the sole authority that determines what constitutes a married relationship. In Catholicism, marriage is a Sacrament. It involves the union between a man or woman and the priest. Before the union of man or woman, however, you don't need to receive a priestly blessing.

In the Catholic Church, marriage is a covenant between one man and a single woman, a partnership for life. It is arranged by nature to benefit the spouses, procreation and education their children. The fundamental properties of marriage are unity and indissolubility. Christ raised marriage between baptized people to the dignity and grace of a sacrament. Canon 1059 states that the marriage of two baptized persons is governed by both the divine and the canon law.

Harmony between spouses

It is not unusual to find Catholics with non-Catholics. Both religions have the same habits and customs. It becomes much easier to make friends between spouses. However, the question of harmony remains between the spouses if a Catholic marries another non-Catholic. This question can be answered by the conviction of the Catholic spouse that the marriage between husband and wife is holy.


The first step to achieving harmonious coexistence between a Catholic and a non-Catholic is ensuring the mutual faith of the couple. This is essential because mixed-faith marriages can be complex. Catholic spouses pledge to support their Catholic faith, and to provide for their children. The non-Catholic spouse does not make any such promise. To ensure a marriage, the Catholic spouse needs to inform the non-Catholic spouse.

Requesting a dispensation using canonical forms from a non Catholic church

It is possible to obtain a dispensation of the Church of Rome for marriages between Catholics (and non-Catholics). A dispensation under the canons of Catholicism is a temporary waiver from the law. Dispensations may be granted for different situations but they cannot be used in a general way. Also, dispensations should not be granted to whole Catholic communities. A two-tiered system would result in an open-ended dispensation that would be fundamentally unjust.

Non-Catholic Christians can be found in a wide range of Protestant denominations as well as Orthodox churches. All of them are valid candidates for sacramental baptism, regardless of their non-Catholic views. A Catholic couple may petition the Bishop to grant a dispensation from Canonical form to allow them to marry a nonCatholic.


love in relationships

It is possible for a catholic to marry a nonCatholic.

Mixed marriages can prove difficult for both the spouses, but they are especially challenging when it comes time to raise children Catholicically. As a Catholic, it is expected that you remain faithful to your faith and make every effort to raise your children Catholic. The words of the vow have changed from 1917's Code of Canon Law, to the 1983 edition. Catholics and non-Catholics should keep these points in mind when planning a mixed marriage.

Having a Catholic marry a non-Catholic has its challenges, but it is a growing trend in the Catholic Church. If the non-Catholic spouse will continue to practice their faith, the Church will protect a Catholic's soul. While a non-Catholic spouse may be a friend or colleague of the Catholic church, a marriage in this setting must be sanctioned by the church to ensure that the non-Catholic spouse remains loyal to the faith.
