Canon
789
Although
the marriage can be entered validly with regard to other
matters, the
priest, beyond the other cases defined by law, without the permission of the
local hierarch, is not to bless: (1)
the
marriage of transients; (2) a marriage which cannot be recognized or entered
into according to the norms of civil law; (3)
a marriage
of a person who is bound by natural obligations toward
a third
party or toward children arising from a prior union with
that party;
(4) a marriage of a minor child of a family whose
parents are
unaware of or opposed to the marriage; (5) the marriage of one who is forbidden
by an ecclesiastical sentence to
enter into
a new marriage unless the person fulfills certain conditions; (6) a marriage of
a person who has publicly rejected
the
Catholic faith, even if that person did not become a member
of a
non-Catholic Church or ecclesial communion; the local hierarch in this case
will not grant permission unless the norms of
can. 814
are observed, making any necessary adaptations.
