In Catholic Church, If The Bride Is Catholic And The Groom Is Not And The Groom Was Married Out Of The Catholic Church To A Non- Catholic Person, In A Civil Ceramony,does The Groom Have To Get An Annulment?

The Catholic Church does not give annulments as easily as you might think. If you marry outside the Catholic Church, it doesn't recognize that you have made one of the 7 sacraments. My wife is Catholic, never married, I am So. Baptist, twice divorced. When we were looking at being married by the Catholic Church, we were told we had to get special dispensation from the Church, a Cardinal, Bishop or Arch Bishop. We ended up getting a retired Catholic Priest to marry us, of course we were married in a park like setting, not in a church , but we had a traditional Catholic and Hispanic wedding, my wife is Mexican American. We had the lasso, aras, etc. I hope this is somewhat helpful.

Depends on what type of wedding you want. Normally the Catholic church will not allow divorced people to marry in a Catholic ceremony unless the original partner has subsequently died. Annul,meant are very difficult as there are certain requirements that need to be met. If your intended was to convert to Catholicism then there would be no problem as his previous marriage would be not be recognized by the Catholic church. Re: Civil Ceremonies. The reason these came in to being is to avoid all the problems church weddings caused between different religions. A Civil Ceremony is not the same a a Church one, some religions require you have a Church marriage to sanctify the Civil one.

The Catholic Church does not recognize civil marriages. If the bride is Catholic and the groom is not. Or even if they are both Catholics the marriage is null and void. They can file for an annulment or have their marriage nullified by going to the Tribunal and the Bishop for nullification and the documents will be sent to the Chancery. All the bride needs is a copy of the civil license and baptismal certificate. Even without all these, if the bride wants to remarry with a Catholic person in the Catholic church she can as long as the groom will not interfere.

I am going through this right now! And I found that that the previous civil marriage must be annulled before they allow the both of you to marry in the catholic church, no way around it. My fiance is converting to catholic and even so -his first marriage must be annulled in order to be married in a catholic church- does not seem right but those are the rules.
If your fiance's ex was catholic and did not marry in the catholic church then a dispensation is in order-- instead of annulment - I hear a dispensation takes shorter time.  There are so many rules - contact your priest and let him know your scenario- good luck!
