Abstract

The article found a short history of text “The Sacrament of Marriage and its Impediments”, which was adopted at the Council of the Orthodox Church in Crete in 2016. The second part of this document lists the factors that are impediments to getting married. The Crete document lists five obstacles: kinship by blood and kinship by affinity, no nullity of a previous marriage, monastic vows, priesthood, mixed marriages. The article also points to the controversy related to certain divergences in the Orthodox word regarding the perception of the priesthood as an obstacle to marriage, as well as the perception of mixed marriages with non-Orthodox Christians.
