    The Catholic Church holds that marriage is a sacrament creating an indissoluble union between one man and one woman.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratum_sed_non_consummatum

    This quality belongs fully to the marriage ratified and consummated. Thus mutual consent is sufficient to constitute marriage in its essence; consummation adds an accidental perfection and more absolute indissolubility [4] Absolute indissolubility is attributed only to ratified and consummated marriages between Christians.

    Since monogamy and the indissolubility of marriage are founded on natural law, ligamen is binding on non-Catholics and on the unbaptized.

    Canon 109 of the Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church provides that affinity is an impediment to the marriage of a couple, and is a relationship which "arises from a valid marriage, even if not consummated, and exists between a man and the blood relatives of the woman and between the woman and the blood relatives of the man."

    For example, the temple recommend requires Church members to abstain from pre-marital sex, a behavior associated with a higher divorce rate. [87] This statistic also fails to take into account couples who enter into a temple marriage and subsequently obtain a civil divorce, yet fail to apply for a cancellation of temple sealings.

  9. Declaration of nullity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_Nullity

    A "Declaration of Nullity" is not the dissolution of an existing marriage (as is a dispensation from a marriage ratum sed non consummatum and an "annulment" in civil law), but rather a determination that consent was never validly exchanged due to a failure to meet the requirements to enter validly into matrimony and thus a marriage never ...
