Can a Catholic woman who marries a protestant woman in a register office receive Holy Communion?
No. The Church does not consider same-sex unions marriage. Indeed, the Church recognizes homosexuality as intrinsically sinful. This person would have to first cease to live in discord with the teachings of the Church, then go to confession and only then would she be able to receive Holy Communion.

Can Catholic women take Communion after she marries?
As long as she is married under canonical laws--the laws of the Catholic Church--absolutely.

Without knowing further information, there are ways for her to have her marriage validated...she should speak to her Priest for further guidance.
If a divorced non Catholic marries a Catholic but not in the Catholic church is an annulment required for the Catholic to receive communion in a Catholic church?
For a Catholic to be in good standing, and to be able to receive Holy Communion, then they must not be in an irregular situation such as you describe, an objective state of sin. For the Catholic to be in a state of grace, and thus to be able to receive Holy Communion, he or she would have to fix the irregularity in his life either by obtaining an annulment and validly married the individual or by separating from them. It might be possible to receive Holy Communion and get back in a state of grace by just practicing continence, until such time as they could be validly married, but this would be an individual decision of the person's confessor. For a more thorough answer for a similar scenario, read this, written by Father Shane Johnson, a New York priest: (see link below)
Can Catholic women take Holy Communion after she marries and divorces an orthodox man?
The bible teaches to divorce only if your spouse has committed adultery so if the reason you divorced was for some other reason other than your spouse committing adultery, and you did it with full knowledge that it is bad, you have committed a mortal sin. And if you have committed a mortal sin, you are not eligible to receive Holy Communion. Any ways, to be on the safe side, if you have already divorced for some other reason, you should go to confession before receiving Holy Communion if you knew it was bad OR not.

How can a child of a Lutheran and Catholic parent be baptised to make both parents happy?
A person can only be baptized once so baptizing in both churches would be redundant. Generally, when a non-Catholic marries a Catholic they are required to affirm that any children must be raised as Catholics before the Church will allow them to marry. Therefore, if they were married in a Catholic church the children should be baptized in a Catholic church. If the parents were not married in a Catholic church, then they have another problem. They need to regularize their marriage to be in full communion with the Catholic Church. They must arrange to have their marriage blessed by the Catholic Church.
