- Title
Impediments of Relationship in the Sacrament of Marriage.
- Authors
Patsavos, Lewis
- Abstract
The article discusses canonical requirements on the impediments to the sacrament of marriage in the Orthodox Church, with perplexing issues raised by consanguinity or blood relations, affinity or marriage relations, and spiritual relations or sponsorship at baptism. It reviews the canons prohibiting marital union based on previously existing relationships. Canon 54 lists marital prohibitions resulting from blood relations or previous marital union, and Canon 53 discusses spiritual relationship.
