The study above shows briefly legal issues related to marriage in the Orthodox Church. It takes notes of fundamental differences regarding a sacramental marriage in the Latin and Orthodox Churches. The study is divided into two chapters separated into particular points.
The first chapter discusses legal conditions to marry, i.e. marriage formalities and main obstacles. The second one approaches us to a divorce issue in the Orthodox church: its form and circumstances. The analysis of the issues mentioned above is to show differences and similarities between marriage-related legislation in both Christian Churches.
