It seems to many that the wedding is the conclusion of an alliance between two loving hearts forever, for they are joined by God. But in practice, not everything is so radiant, the couple married in the church break up, and then the question arises about the debunking of church marriage, how to pass this rite?
Dissolution of church marriage
It is logical to assume that if there is a wedding ceremony, then dethronement of church marriage, too, must necessarily be. But this is for us, pragmatic children of the XXI century, this assumption is logical, but not for the church - the rite of debunking does not exist. The fact is that the church does not welcome divorce at all, and therefore there can not be any rites for breaking the sacred bonds: the family is not a toy to you, amused, and, as bored, threw it away. But the Orthodox Church still treats the sinful souls of the parishioners with understanding and allows re-wedding, although it does not approve of throwing between husbands. The only case of re-marriage, which is less blamed by the church, is the situation when the former spouse died. In this case, the entry into a new marriage is permitted by church canons.
A couple who wishes to re-marry, it is necessary to file a petition for the dissolution (not dethronement) of church marriage. This petition is submitted to the regional Diocesan Administration, after the certificate of a new marriage is in your hands. You will also need a passport and a certificate of termination of a previous marriage, concluded under secular laws. Only one of the former spouses can apply for a re-wedding, the presence of both is not obligatory. Allow the re-wedding of the priest in the church is not allowed. As soon as the permission to re-wedding you will be received, you can apply to any temple for the sacrament of the wedding. True, the procedure of re-wedding will be somewhat different. So, if both spouses are married a second time, then the wedding is performed by the "second rank", that is, the crowns are not assigned, but if one of the future spouses was not married before, the ceremony is held in full form.
But it is not enough to know how to terminate a church marriage, you need to know that this will not happen in any case. Church legislation has a list of reasons for the dissolution of marriage, and as you understand the graphs "did not meet characters" there is not. So what is the reason for dissolving the church marriage?
The reasons for the dissolution of church marriage
The Church considers it possible to dissolve a marriage if it occurs for the following reasons:
- adultery: betrayal or marriage of one of the spouses;
- inability to conceive a child;
- falling away from the Orthodox faith: excommunication from Orthodoxy, acceptance of another religion;
- long absence without any news from the missing spouse or malicious abandonment of the spouse;
- condemnation to punishment;
- the commission of an abortion without her husband's consent;
- illegal marriage: forcibly, without reporting a serious illness or mental disorder, if relatives or minors were married if there was a legal spouse;
- encroachment on the life or health of children or spouses;
- witnessed alcoholism or drug addiction;
- AIDS, leprosy, syphilis;
- a witnessed mental illness;
- snohachy and pandering.
The permission to remarriage is received by one who is not guilty of the disintegration of the family. But the one whose soul is responsible for breaking the relationship, will be able to obtain permission to remarry only after repentance and execution of penance. A total of 3 can be married, and in the case of a wedding for the third time, the punishment will be palpable.
