Conditions of Proceeding Concerning the Recognition of Ecclesiastical Decrees in the Italian Court of Appeal

Summary/Abstract: In the Italian private law the church marriage annulment can obtain the effectiveness in the civil law. Before then, the judical decisions must be surveyed during the special type of procedure, which shall be carried out by the competent court of appeal. During this procedure the court shall examine whether defined by the law conditions have been fulfilled. This type of examination is intended to protect both the Italian legal order and the institution of marriage. Among the requirements which must be fulfilled by the judgment of the church before it will be recognized, it should be listed: jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical judge to rule on the marriage annulment, right of the parties to defence and participation in the process, non contrariety with the judgment given by the Italian court and non contrariety with the Italian public order. The question of the conditions of the proceeding concerning the recognition of ecclesiastical marriage annulments allows to note the differences which exist between the canon law and Italian private law. They are especially apparent in regard to the conditions governing the invalidity of a marriage and issues of spouses contracting marriage in a good faith.
