The depends on the religion of the couple celebrating the marriage ceremony. To contract marriage validly in the eyes of the Catholic Church, a Catholic is required to marry in a Catholic ceremony, even if they are marrying a non-Catholic. If neither party is Catholic, the Catholic Church would consider the civilly-wed couple to be validly married, but not sacramentally married.

∙ 8y agoThe Bible does not provide an to this question. However, all the major Christian denominations consider civil marriages to be valid. For example, the Catholic Church requires a person, who has undergone a civil wedding and then divorced, to seek an annulment of that civil marriage before remarriage in a Catholic church. Thus the Catholic Church does acknowledge the validity of a civil marriage, although it teaches the importance of a church wedding.
Until the Middle Ages, there was no such thing as a church wedding, and the act of consummation was regarded as a Christian sacrament in the same way as the church wedding is now.

Is a Non Civil wedding for two retired adults by a rabbi is acceptable in God's eyes?
The marriage arrangement is God's arrangement according to the Old Testament. If a couple is married by a Rabbi, Priest, Minister, etc. they are properly joined in God's eyes. Should the couple desire the benefits the government offers (ie: social security, medical, etc.); then a licensed 'civil' wedding is needed. Many senior citizens that are widowed cannot afford to have a civil ceremony today, they would loose one income many times and medical benefits they require to survive. A wedding that complies with the Holy Bible permits the couple to be joined by God and be free from sinning against God's laws. There is nothing illegal about a non-civil wedding by a member of a recognized religions Rabbi, Priest or Minister. One just cannot have the legal benefits that only come with a civil ceremony. Married by a proper religious representative is a proper marriage in God's Law whether or not it is a 'civil' wedding. This is a matter of personal choice, not government regulation. It is not illegal to have a non-civil marriage, the couple just will not qualify for certain government programs that they may be better off without to survive. Consult with your spouse, decide if a marriage in God's eyes fulfills your needs you then need to consider the benefits vs the losses of a civil union. One can be wed both religious and civil by the same person and ceremony too. The options are what is best for the couples survival and their religious conscience with God's arrangement.
Give two reasons why some divorced Christians do not remarry in church?
Once they have already said their vows in front of god and they are then broken they don't go back to a place of worship with another partner to ask for god to look over them and guide them because it is wrongRoman Catholic answer: Two people who are married are joined by God as one flesh. The commitment is permanent and can not be broken by men. If two Christians who have contracted a valid, sacramental marriage get a civil divorce, they are still married in the eyes of God and the church, and thus are ineligible to "remarry" someone else, i.e. they are already married.
