| Sumario: | The marriage, one of the ancient institutions of mankind, was initially regulated by divine law (both natural and positive), hence its religious character, that also can be found in the Roman marriage known as the confarreatio marriage. According to the provisions of the ius civile, a man and a woman enter into a marriage through a contract. But, by an imperial constitution promulgated by the Emperor Justinian, only the civil marriage contracted by a written contract in a Church is a iustas nuptias (‘legal marriage’) (cf. Novel 74).The marriage as institution — provided by ius civile — has evolved into the sacramental act of marriage when it was raised to the rank of a Holy Sacrament of the Church by our Savior, Jesus Christ, at Cana of Galilee (cf. John 2:1—11). And, from apostolic age, the Holy Sacrament (Mistyrion) of Marriage has been accompanied by the administration and reception of the Holy Eucharist by the groom and the bride, that is, by the man and the woman. And, this sacramental act of marriage was regulated by church law, that is the canon law of the Eastern and Western Churches (cf. can. 3 Trullan Council). From the year 893 the subjects of the Byzantine emperor had to receive the Sacrament of Marriage after they were contracted the civil marriage (cf. Novel 89 of Emperor Leo the Wise). Only in this way a marriage could be bearer of legal effects. Le mariage, l’une des institutions les plus anciennes de l’humanité, était initialement réglementé par la loi divine (tant naturelle que positive), d’où son caractère religieux, que l’on retrouve également dans le mariage romain connu sous le nom de mariage par confarreatio. Conformément aux dispositions du ius civile, un homme et une femme contractaient le mariage par le biais d’un accord. Cependant, en vertu d’une constitution impériale proclamée par l’empereur Justinien, seul le mariage civil conclu sous la forme d’un contrat écrit dans l’Église est considéré comme iustae nuptiae (mariage légal) (cf. Novelle 74). Le mariage en tant qu’institution, assuré par le ius civile, a évolué en un acte sacramentel de mariage lorsqu’il a été élevé au rang de Saint Sacrement de l’Église par notre Sauveur Jésus-Christ à Cana en Galilée (cf. Jn 2: 1-11). Depuis l’époque apostolique, le sacrement du mariage (mystirion) était accompagné de la réception de la Très Sainte Eucharistie par le marié et la mariée, c’est-à-dire par l’homme et la femme. Cet acte sacramentel de mariage était réglementé par le droit ecclésiastique, c’est-à-dire le droit canonique des Églises orientales et occidentales (cf. canon 3 du Concile in Trullo).À partir de 893, les sujets de l’empereur byzantin devaient recevoir le sacrement du mariage après avoir contracté le mariage civil (cf. Novelle 89 de l’empereur Léon le Sage). Ce n’est qu’ainsi que le mariage pouvait avoir des effets juridiques. Il matrimonio, una delle istituzioni più antiche dell’umanità, era inizialmente regolato dal diritto divino (sia naturale che positivo), da cui deriva il suo carattere religioso, che si può ritrovare anche nel matrimonio romano noto come matrimonio per confarreatio Secondo le disposizioni dello ius civile, l’uomo e la donna contrattavano il matrimonio attraverso un accordo. Tuttavia, in virtù della costituzione imperiale proclamata dall’imperatore Giustiniano, solo il matrimonio civile contratto in forma scritta nella Chiesa è considerato iustas nuptias (matrimonio legale) (cfr. Novella 74). Il matrimonio come istituzione, garantito dallo ius civile, è evoluto in un atto sacramentale quando è stato elevato a rango di Santo Sacramento della Chiesa dal nostro Salvatore Gesù Cristo alle nozze di Cana di Galilea (cfr. Gv 2,1-11). Fin dai tempi apostolici, il sacramento del matrimonio (mistyrion) è stato accompagnato dalla somministrazione e dalla ricezione della Santissima Eucaristia da parte dello sposo e della sposa, ossia dell’uomo e della donna. Questo atto sacramentale del matrimonio era regolato dal diritto ecclesiastico, ovvero dal diritto canonico delle Chiese orientali e occidentali (cfr. can. 3 del Concilio in Trullo). Dal 893, i sudditi dell’imperatore bizantino dovevano ricevere il sacramento del matrimonio dopo aver contratto il matrimonio civile (cfr. novella 89 dell’imperatore Leone il Saggio). Solo in questo modo il matrimonio poteva avere effetti legali. |
