According to Catholic Church law, divorce is not provided for, as those who marry in the Catholic Church should believe that what God has joined together, no human should separate. Therefore, Catholics seeking divorce have only the option of applying for annulment of the marriage, which more than a thousand German couples do each year. The Catholic Church demands greater respect for the sacrament of marriage and intends to scrutinize the religious beliefs of couples more closely before the wedding in the future. This book provides an overview of marriage and divorce under civil law, as well as marriage and annulment under Catholic Church law.
