peer agreement (net): +11marriage annulment Explanation: Please provide sufficient context. Such terms have different meanings in different traditions. We have addressed this point many times before. Thank you. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-03-05 01:10:40 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The following information about marriage annulment is from the website of the Maronite Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon: http://www.usamaronite.org/heritage/faqs.html#g1 \"What about an annulment? Sometimes, what appeared to be a valid marriage breaks down, ending in a civil divorce. The Catholic Church does not recognize the ending of a marriage relationship by divorce, even though it is clear that the relationship can no longer be reconciled. In such cases one of the parties may petition the marriage tribunal of the Eparchy for a so-called “declaration of nullity” (= annulment) of the bond. In other words, the tribunal will seek, through evidence submitted, whether there were grounds at the beginning of the marriage relationship that actually prevented a full Church marriage from occurring. If it can be proven that such grounds existed, the marriage may be declared null and void, and BOTH parties¯the one petitioning (the “Petitioner”) and the other (the “Respondent”)¯are free to be married in the Church. Usually the entire process takes about a year, and no date for a ceremony may be set until the declaration is actually in hand. The parish priest is usually the first person to turn to for assistance with an annulment case, though he may have other staff trained to handle cases. The grounds for granting a declaration of nullity have been expanded in recent decades; thus, the chances for a positive judgment are greater than before. Tribunals try to treat the tragedy of divorce with a sense of compassion and no one should be afraid to try to seek an annulment.\" |
