About this statute
Rules to prevent duplicate marriage registrations: civil marriage officials must not authorize a civil marriage if they know the parties are already civilly married through a canonical marriage, and registry officials must report duplicate marriage entries. Civil Registry officers must tell the Public Prosecutor about duplicate marriage registrations they become aware of. The judge or official who would authorize the marriage must not do so if they learn the couple is already civilly married under canon law rules. If the officiant learns that the parties plan a later canonical marriage, the officiant must tell them that either form gives full civil effects. The Civil Registry must not make the main registration of a canonical marriage if the same people have already previously entered into a civil marriage.
