In Catholicism, a marriage can only be divorced by death. There is no mutual divorce possible.

But there are e few exceptions:
- if one of the persons has erred about the character of the spouse (by far the most frequently used possibility)
- the Pope can grant a divorce if the marriage hasn't been "consumed" yet
- if one spouse is not able to fulfill the obligations that a marriage brings about
- if one of the spouses has been forced into the marriage
- if the one of the spouses is unable to have sex (the actual ability to conceive children does not matter)

For the details, read articles 1055 - 1165 of the Code of the Canon Law, available here: http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/_INDEX.HTM
