Summary/Abstract: The article considers the main incoherences, which emerge from the meeting of dogmatic theology (theology of sacraments) and the Canon Law, general and detailed theology of sacraments (with reference to matrimony), and in the very sacramentological systematics of this sacrament. Particular focus is placed on the following problems: the significance of faith for the sacramentality of matrimony, the relation between natural and sacramental matrimony (Code of Canon Law, canon 1055), the relation between celebration of the sacrament and indissolubility of matrimony (the problem of unconsummated marriages), and the minister of the sacrament of matrimony. The article presents the background of the listed problems, their historical roots.
