| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sacrament of Marriage |
| | Again, though he seems to understand that marriage, also, must be administered by the ministers of the Church, it cannot be denied that the contracting parties in Christian marriage must be guided by ecclesiastical regulations, and cannot act otherwise than as ministers subject to the Church or dispensers of the sacrament. | | | The original marriage, and consequently marriage as it was conceived in the original plan of God before sin, was to be the means not merely of the natural propagation of the human race, but also the means by which personal supernatural sanctity should be transmitted to the individual descendents of our first parents. | | | In place of its former sanctity, marriage retained only the significance of a type feebly representing the sanctity that was thenceforth to be acquired; it foreshadowed the Incarnation of the Son of God, and the close union which God was thereby to form with the human race. |

| | Judaism 101: Marriage |
| | Because marriage under Jewish law is essentially a private contractual agreement between a man and a woman, it does not require the presence of a rabbi or any other religious official. | | | The marriage of minors, of a Jew to a non-Jew, and of a kohein to the prohibited classes of women discussed below fall into this category. | | | Children of a married man and a woman who is not his wife are not mamzerim (because the marriage between the parents would not have been prohibited), although children of a married woman and a man who is not her husband are mamzerim (because she could not have married him). |

| | Dietrich von Hildebrand - Marriage |
| | Marriage is a reality in the objective order which is constituted only by a solemn act and presupposes a formal act of the will: the two partners give themselves expressly to each other, fully sanctioning this surrender for their entire lifetime. | | | The marriage is fully actualized when both partners, in consequence of this act, consummate this surrender in bodily union. | | | Marriage is a communion of objective validity which includes both partners. |

| | A marriage in which one party is misled may be either invalid or illicit, depending on the nature of the fraud. | | | Therefore, an annulment is granted with some finding of lack of validity in the marriage itself, at the time of the marital contract; in theory, behavior subsequent to the contract should not be directly relevant, except as post facto evidence of the validity or invalidity of the contract. | | | Catholic theology teaches that a validly contracted marriage is accompanied by divine ratification, creating an indissoluble union; therefore, no divorce is possible. |
