It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman Catholic is a slur that became popular in England after the protestant revolt. The law of the Catholic Church is known as Codex Iuris Canonici, popularly known as "the Code" or "Code of Canon Law" in English.

Roman Catholic AnswerNo, Church law requires that any marriage they perform be recognized in civil law. Please note that the "blessing service" mentioned below does not refer to a Catholic Church. AnswerAs an additional answer, in case the questioner is considering looking elsewhere other than the Catholic Church I know of no church whether Catholic or not that will perform such a service. One cannot be married in Church unless the marriage is also a legal occasion and recognised in civil law. However some denominations will provide a 'blessing' service but not a marriage.
