Dear Sir, In last month, I got the mutual consent divorce order from the court. I also got the divorce decree as well. Now I am getting ready for re-marriage. I found a girl and we have interest to proceed our marrige. Our families are also support it. As I am a christian, we have some formalities in our church for a marriage to be happen. In order to get the details about that we have approached our parish priest. I have shown the court mutual consent order along with the decree. After seeing them, he told us that as per the law I can marry a girl now. There is no problem in that. But, for christian, we are having a family court. I have to file a petition there also and both of us (myself and my ex-wife) need to appear in person infront of the court and convey our interest about the divorce. Then only they will conform our diovrce and start the chruch formalities for my new marriage. I am wondering about the priest's answer. Family court is the highest authority. Once it is decided and gave divorce to us, then what is the problem in that. Why they cant start church formalities for re-marrige?
As the priest said, If I submit my petition in the christian family court and the process gets delayed, then definitely it will affect my re-marriage. Otherwise, I will by pass church formalities and do remarriage.
What can I do now sir? Why there are two courts for christians? I am getting worried about these church formalities. Please advice on this. :-(
