Sakramentinės santuokos pripažinimo problemos Lietuvos Respublikos civilinėje teisėje

Abstract

Article analyses legality of the marital agreement made in the church in the secular society. After reestablishment of independence the marriage contracted in the Church was legally recognized by the Lithuanian Constitution. The process of inclusion of such marriage into state official register, legal consequences and other important questions are still on the lack of compatibility. In spite of the fact, that the Constitution recognizes the registration o f marriage contracted in the Church, the conception "church marriage" to some extent is still narrowed by civil law. Taking into consideration that the marriage is still registered in both institutions, the Church and Civil Registry Institution, the purpose of this article is to determine the problems arising from two types of the marriages. The article analyses the sources of such problems and canonical conflict questions between sacramental and civil marriage
