Divorce and Remarriage

Q  ¡°If a person does not want a divorce but divorce is granted to the partner by the law of the land, where does this leave the person?¡±


A if, for a valid marriage, a divorce is granted by any authority, it has no value in the eyes of God. Whether one receives this divorce willingly or unwillingly, it still remains invalid: the spouses are still married in the eyes of God; they are bound to fidelity, and would be adultery if they would go with another person. Our Lord is very clear: ¡°Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery¡± (Mk. 10:11-12). One might say: this concerns the guilty party; but the innocent party is evidently not allowed to become guilty by imitating the guilty party!!! St Paul is very clear on the point: ¡°to them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not from her husband. And if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife¡± (1 Cor. 7:10-11)


That is where it is important to have faith and real trust in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Some people indeed say: this situation is difficult. Yes, it is, but it is really possible, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live a life of perfect chastity. The good priests, monks and nuns are the very clear proof of this. And throughout the history of the Church there have been countless such good priests, monks and nuns! Moreover, there were even a good number of holy faithful at the beginning of the Church who, though they were married, would of common accord make the vow of chastity. I have even known two couples last century who did so! It is the sinful world that does not believe in chastity; but the good faithful know that, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, it is possible, it is even the source of much consolation and graces!


Q  But isn¡¯t that rule a bit loose then? So one will only have to sleep with another just to get out of the marriage.

A ¡°Not so. Firstly, separation is permitted in case of the adultery of the other, but no divorce. So in no case is it ¡°getting out of the marriage¡±. Once married, always married (¡°until death do them part¡±).


Secondly, one is not obliged to get a separation in case of the adultery of the other. Patience is possible, even in such case. Both our Lord, St Paul and ALL the Fathers stress very much the duty of fidelity in the marriage! One should not even ¡°think¡± of being unfaithful!


There are some theologians who said Jesus didn¡¯t really mean fornication, but marriages which are invalid from the beginning, such as between first cousins or uncles and nieces, between a father and daughter (gross I know), and therefore divorce is allowed.


¡°A ¡°marriage invalid from the beginning¡± is NOT a marriage! So it is not a divorce to separate people who had never been really married. Annulment is precisely this: declaration that a marriage has NEVER been valid. Hence the principle ¡°once married, always married (until death)¡± does not apply.
However infidelity, irreconcilable differences are NOT and have never been proper reasons for annulments, simply because they are not reasons that would make a marriage invalid from the beginning.


Lets say a close relative (a man married his cousin or niece without him knowing it) and they have consummated marriage in sexual act, can that marriage be annulled? I have heard from somewhere, if a couple have consummated the marriage in sexual act, it can¡¯t be annulled? And what if the couple already have children by the time they knew that they are related, do they have the obligation to get annulment from the Church, as their marriage was invalid from the first place (but they didn¡¯t know that they are related until they already have children)? What will happen to the children of that annulled marriage? Are they still considered legitimate children?


¡°If they knew and hid the fact to the priest in the ¡°investigation prior to marriage¡±, they are clearly guilty of fraud, and their marriage is clearly not valid: they were guilty of concubinage from the beginning. If they knew they were related, but did not know it was an impediment, and the priest did NOT ask them about it, then he failed to his duty and they were in a ¡°putative marriage¡±, i.e. genuinely thinking they were married, they were not guilty of subjective sin, though their marriage was not valid. Once they know they have to abstain – of course. If they are not too close relatives, e.g. if they are second cousins, they could apply for a dispensation, especially if they have children, which the bishop could give them. With that dispensation they could then ¡°convalidate their marriage¡±; the children are considered legitimate. Note that to be closely related is an impediment according to natural law (because of the greater danger of abnormal children) and there is no ignorance for such impediment.
