| Summary: | "A Catholic man requested a dispensation from canonical form in order that he might enter marriage with a baptized non-Catholic woman. The man indicated that the wedding would be taking place in the womans non-Catholic church and before her father, who is the pastor. Many in the woman's family are quite anti-Catholic, and so a Catholic celebration would have caused considerable disharmony and conflict. The local ordinary granted the dispensation. A week before the wedding, the parties asked the minister if he would celebrate the wedding on a pier at a local lake since that was where they first met, and he agreed. Some years later the parties divorced and sought a declaration of nullity. Is the marriage invalid because of an absence of canonical form, or does it enjoy the presumption of validity?" |
