Can a non-Catholic divorced man marry a Catholic woman in the Catholic church?
Answer
No, he can not. If he has been married before, he is free to marry in the Church only if his previous spouse has died or he has obtained a declaration of nullity from the Church for his original marriage. The mere fact of a divorce is not sufficient to prove the nullity of a marriage. During marriage preparation, you must inform the priest if you have been married before, even if in a civil ceremony. Even if the first marriage is found to be void, if you are not baptized, no marriage can proceed unless you receive a dispensation from the Local Ordinary (Bishop of Diocese), and if you are baptized though non-Catholic you must receive permission from the Local Ordinary and the priest will require you to agree to certain terms regarding the Faith of your spouse and any future children.
