ABSTRACT
The first obstacle to tackling the issue of marriage in Christian Churches is the difficulty of finding a common doctrine among the different Churches which make up Christianity and within each tradition. The differences in the understanding and practice of Christianity were evident from the very beginning. Aspects such as the mutual consent of the parties, the obstacles to the formation of the union, the existence of a legal form to express personal consent, or the rules on cases of nullity and dissolution, all of these originated in Christian law but are common in Western civil law. Since Roman Catholic Church marriage law was the fundamental base of other Christian laws. Protestant Churches directly recognize civil divorce on some grounds. Therefore, all Christian Churches, except the Roman Catholic, permit re-marriage of divorcees within the church if certain conditions are met.
