If he/she married the first time by church then no way unless that person requests a marrige anullment to the pope...If the person didnt marry thru church for the first time just thru the civil laws then yea one can marry by church.

First of all, any sin can be forgiven, with the exception of final despair ( that would be, say, you are killing yourself and right up until your very last thought, you believe God doesn't love you and you have no regrets about what you are doing)\n\nWe Catholics have the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession)to bring our relationship with God back in line with where it should be when we have sinned. Don't let anyone fool you- it isn't easy. It is NOT ," Oh, Catholics think they can do ANYTHING, then go to Confession." WRONG. If you do it right, the point is it is really HARD to confess the things you do that disappoint God (we are not talking to the priest in Confession, we are talking to God- the priest speaks on His behalf). When you walk out of the Confessional, knowing your soul is as pure as on the day of your Baptism- THAT is the most AWESOME feeling!\n\nSo, again, almost any sin can be forgiven. You must be sorry for doing it and truly want to avoid that sin forever, take it to God in Confession...and He forgets it forever!\n\nMost people's moral faults are not known to the world, so rarely would that keep them from being able to be married in the Church. \n\nHaving said that, Matrimony is a Sarament for Catholics- that is why Catholic weddings are so ceremonius and include Mass whenever possible. If a couple enters into marriage while in a state of sin ( not having been to Confession as soon as possible prior to the wedding) they are not allowing themselves to be as open to the grace of the Sacrament as possible.\n\nDivorce is not a sin, but Jesus said marriage is permanent- so REMARRYING after divorce IS a sin. It is adultery. An annulment is a declaration after investigation that a marriage was not Sacramental in nature, therefore did not really 'take.' \n\nThe amount requested by the Diocese for an annulment is a FRACTION of the true cost, and no one is required to pay if they cannot afford it. It is emotionally difficult, but there is a reason. You are supposed to learn something from the process to help you keep your next marriage together. Were you too immature to choose a life mate? Did you fail to think of your spouse moe than yourself? What did you do right and what did you do wrong.  The reason family and friends are questiopned is because they watched your marriage fall apart- only they didn't say anything to you so you could try to keep it together. They offer third party insight and confirmation of what happened, just like in any court case.\n\nIf you want to learn more about the Catholic Church, I recommend 2 books:\n\nThe Catechism of the Catholic Church and Catholicism for Dummies.

Well, in Catholicism, divorce is the inability on both parts to work out the marriage and is widely not accepted purely because both refuse to make the marriage work.  The annulment however, is a single person within the marriage had not intention from the beginning of the marriage to ever make the marriage work.  In Protestant churches, divorce is acceptable if it is because of unfaithfulness.  Annulment would then be the shared determination that the marriage will not work because of one's own personal beliefs and not the others.

He is wrong. The Catholic church allows remarriage only if the spouses get an annulment. He can remarry if he gets one. Premarital sex is not ok. He is feeding you a line of bull. Tell him to go read his catechism again. The Church does not approve of any premarital sex and will never approve it.

If the divorce was not final, a new marriage (wherever solemnized) is invalid and your ex should be able to get a declaration to that effect, or an annulment. It is possible, but unlikely, that under Peruvian law (for some reason) he was considered already validly divorced, in which case the answer would be different.\n\nUnless there was fraudulent intent, prosecution for bigamy is unlikely. There's too much for the prosecutors to prove, and it wouldn't be in the public interest even if technically feasible.\n\nHe should discuss the matter with his lawyer. I'm confident the lawyer will give advice consistent with what I have said.\n\n(I will not address the issue of countries -- not Peru -- where customary and polygamous marriages are allowed.)

Yes, but if you don't go through the whole license/district justice or priest route, the state will not recognize your marriage as legal - thus, you're not actually married.

Yes, most definitely they can.  Ask any Catholic priest.

No they can't. In some states, a justice of the peace can perform marriages. Georgia is one of those states.\n\nG\nGeorgia\nLicensed or ordained ministers, clergymen, or pastors of recognized religious societies, and justices of the peace.

A divorced person can receive communion but a divorced person who is remarried without getting an annulment of the first marriage cannot receive communion.

you have to get an ecclesiastical divorce if you want to marry again in the greek orthodox church.

Yes, but you need to do marriage prep through the Catholic Church...and have your priest help you get permission to marry outside the Church.\n\nJust a caveat. If your faith means a shred of anything to you, a mixed religion marriage is difficult, especially once children come along.

Divorce is a legal end to a legal marriage.  \n\nAnnulment is cancellation of a marriage because it was invalid.\n\nLike: \nYou buy a pair of jeans.  You  take them home and wear them a few times. Then one of the seams starts to tear apart so you take them back to the store and return them for your money back. That's divorce. You used them but in the end, they were defective.\n\nYou buy another pair of jeans and while you're walking through the mall, you see another pair you like better so you take the first pair back to the store where you bought them and get your money back. You never wore them so they just void the transaction. That's annulment.\n\nPretty straightforward right? - Unless you're Catholic - in which case - you could wear those jeans for 25 years and have baby jeans but still take them back and void the transaction. :-) \n\nThe Catholic church doesn't support the idea of divorce so they have a lengthy procedure that provides a church annulment for long-term marriages.  In this case, people also need legal divorces to re-marry.

Sure you can... but the legal date of your marriage will be that of your "first wedding". My husband and I were married by a justice of the peace, 4 years later we were married in the church. We even went through prekana(sp?) classes to do it. It was great to renew our vows and profess our love for one another again. Congrats & good luck:)

Yes because the person abusing is breaking their marriage commitment to treat the other as Christ treated the church. Physically hurting the other violates faith that the other will protect them. Matthew 5:32 "But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery." I believe abuse falls in the unfaithfulness. Matthew 19:8 "Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning." If someone is abusing their spouse then it falls into a hardened heart and under old testament law where a divorce is allowed.
