FORMS OF MARRIAGE
In Italy, under Article 34 of the Concordat of 11 / 02/1929 with the Holy See, have established three forms of marriage:
*
calendar, celebrated by the registrar, the town hall
*
concordat, celebrated by priests
*
to those who profess a religion other than Catholic, celebrated by the respective ministers.
CIVIL MARRIAGE
The civil marriage is, by definition, marriage automatically ensures that all civil effects (and general). It is celebrated in the presence of two witnesses, before a Registrar, who reads the intending spouses Articles 143, 144, 147, Civil Code (the reciprocal rights and duties, on the course of family life, the family's residence, and the duties towards their children). Art.143: The marriage the husband and wife acquire the same rights and assume the same duties, marriage is derived from the mutual obligation of fidelity, moral and material assistance, cooperation in the interest of the family and cohabitation. Art.144: The spouses agree among them the address of family life and secure the residence of the family according to the needs of both prominent and those of the family. Each spouse has the power to implement the agreed address. Art.147: The marriage requires both partners to the obligation to maintain and educate their offspring, taking into account the capacity, the natural inclination and aspirations of children. After receiving each of the spouses, personally, and one after the other, the declaration of wanting to take a wife and husband respectively, the official declares them married.
Canonical marriages
The concordat marriage is celebrated in front of the minister of the Roman Catholic, and produces civil effects if:
*
After the celebration, the priest declares that this marriage is also attributed to the spouses of civil law and the articles of the Civil Code regarding the rights and obligations of spouses
*
marriage is recorded in the registers of civil status
From this moment on, the "family", as regards the rights and duties of spouses and their relationships with their children, is under and regulated by state law, just as the spouses joined in marriage with the civil ceremony. Note: Article 8 of the new agreement of 1984 provides that the registration in civilian can not be held if the spouses have not attained the age of majority.
MARRIAGE BEFORE minister ALLOWED
Even for non-Catholic citizens the possibility exists to celebrate, according to their religious ritual, a marriage valid in civil. But we must take account of the following conditions:
*
The celebrations will be made by a minister whose appointment has been approved by the Ministry of Justice
*
Officer shall require prior authorization of the civil
*
necessary to request (within five days of celebration), that marriage is transcribed in the registers of civil status.
In this case, unlike what happens with the concordat marriage, the state does not give up even in part to its jurisdiction and the effects of marriage are entirely regulated by civil law.
