 Marriage
 

 
 Q.Why is permission required after a declaration of nullity or invalidity before a person may marry again in the Catholic Church?
 
 A.The presumption is that there are certain natural obligations that arise from a union and the Church wishes to ensure that a person is not attempting to use a subsequent marriage to avoid these obligations toward a former partner or children.
