The Catholic Church treats all consummated sacramental marriages as permanent during the life of the spouses, and therefore does not allow remarriage after a divorce if the other spouse still lives and the marriage has not been annulled.
Additionally, is divorce a sin in Catholic Church?
The Catholic Church prohibits divorce, and permits annulment (a finding that the marriage was not canonically valid) under a narrow set of circumstances.
Likewise, people ask, can you remarry in church after divorce?
The rules were almost certainly breached informally. But it was only in 2002 that the General Synod, the church’s legislative body, allowed remarriage in church of divorced people whose former partners were still alive, in “exceptional circumstances”.
What makes a marriage invalid in the Catholic Church?
A marriage may be declared invalid because at least one of the two parties was not free to consent to the marriage or did not fully commit to the marriage.
