No. But if the marriage is annulled, she can remarry. An annulment means that there is sufficient reason to conclude that there was an impediment to the marriage contract that renders it void.

Strictly speaking, no, for a civil divorce is not respected by the Catholic Church: if you are married, the assumption is that the marriage was valid and that you are married until death do you part.

If the Catholic feels there are sufficient grounds for the validity of the original marriage to be reviewed, he/she may submit all details pertaining to that marriage to their parish priest who will forward it to a marriage tribunal. All aspects of the marriage and the two original partners will be examined.

If the Church rules that the marriage was not properly contracted, or was invalid due to impediments, then indeed no marriage actually took place, both parties were and remain single and may contract a marriage.

If the Church determines that the original marriage was valid, It will not grant any leniency in attempts to contract a second marriage while the original spouse is alive, nor will It give any respect to the civil divorce which declares one legally unbound and single.

Each case is different since the religion of both parties at the time of the original marriage must be considered, mixed marriages, disparity of cult (one party not being baptized), Church law, later converts, dispensations granted, impediments lifted; all are factors in deciding what exactly has happened. Often people are married very hastily, when these issues have not been properly addressed, which can be extremely complicated to unwind years after the marriage if things have come to such an unhappy end that an annulment is being pursued.

Roman Catholic AnswerFrom the facts as you state them, the Catholic woman should be able to marry after obtaining an annulment (a statement from the Vatican that the marriage attempted in the civil ceremony was not valid). If you did not have permission from your Bishop to marry in a non-Catholic ceremony it would be automatic. You should speak to a priest as soon as possible to get started.

Can a deacon marry a couple that are divorced and the groom was married by the Catholic Church?

.Roman Catholic AnswerA deacon may witness any marriage between two people who are free to marry. In the instance you give above "couple that are divorced and the groom was married by the Catholic Church" it is not clear what the case is. It would appear that you are saying the groom was previously married to someone else in the Catholic Church. If this is the case, it would appear that he was validly married already and thus would not be free to contract another marriage while his wife still lives. If, for some reason, the "Catholic marriage" was invalid, then the groom would be free to marry. You need to speak to a priest to make sure both parties are free to marry. If both the groom and the bride were previously married, then they would both have to seek an annulment (a declaration that no valid marriage occurred) even if the bride's marriage was not in the Catholic Church.

How can a non Catholic divorced man marry a Catholic female in a Catholic church?

In general, no.This answer does a nice job of summing it up: see link below.Roman Catholic AnswerThe non Catholic divorced man would have to speak to his local Catholic priest and apply for a decree of nullity (a ruling that he was never validly married). If it is granted, then he can marry in a Catholic Church. Without such a decree, no marriage would be possible as he would be validly married already.

Can you be accepted into the Catholic church to be a nun if you were divorced?

Yes, but not unless the marriage is annulled. If the woman was Catholic and married by a Justice of the Peace with no church involvement, then the nullity is straightforward; however if she was married in a Catholic service the nullity is a long process; and there is no guarantee of acceptance as her past history will be under scrutiny.Roman Catholic AnswerIf you are asking what the question reads, then, no, you can not be accepted into the Catholic Church to be a nun - period. You can be accepted into the Catholic Church. After you have been a practicing Catholic for at least a year, you may discern a vocation to the religious life. If you have previously been married and divorced, that would have to be annulled as stated above, before you could proceed.


Can a divorced woman become Catholic by marrying a Catholic man?

If she is divorced, she would need an annulment first, unless she was married outside the church. Then she can marry a non-catholic only if he was not married before and if he agrees to the oaths taken for catholic marriage.
