Summary/Abstract: Concern about marriage and family shown by the state and the Church is expressed mainly in the development of appropriate legislation to guarantee the permanence of marriage and the right of the family. However. not all marriages enjoy stability and durability. Especially recently, in our civilisation and culture, one can observe more and more split marriages. This article presents the similarities and differences in regulations concerning the separation of spouses in the Polish law and Canon law. The analysis of separation, the declaration of nullity of canonical marriage, of the non-existence and nullity of civil marriages, civil divorce, the dissolution of an impeded canonical marriage and due to the "privilege of faith", leads to the conclusion, that the gratest systemic protection of the permanence and indissolubility of marriage, apart from separation, which serves the same supreme purpose in both codes of law, is provided by the Canon law.
