Note: The marriages of Ukrainian Catholics, who belong to the Byzantine Rite, are regulated by the matrimonial law of the Eastern churches in the Code of Canon Law of Eastern- Churches (1990) Canons 776-866. Since in England and Wales Ukrainian Catholics form their own ecclesiastical and juridical body, the ‘Eparchy’, inter-ritual discipline is as follows:
-
- All marriage documents concerning Ukrainian Catholics of the Byzantine Rite should be arranged by a Ukrainian Catholic Priest.
- When the Catholics are of mixed Rite their marriage must be celebrated in the Rite of the groom, and before his parish priest.
- If the bride is of a western Rite her parish priest prepares her marriage papers, sending them to the Ukrainian priest. Banns are read by both priests. After the marriage the Ukrainian priest informs the parish priest of the bride of its celebration.
- When one party is a Catholic of the Byzantine Rite and the other a non-Catholic the case belongs entirely to the Priest of the Byzantine Rite.
- When both parents, validly married, are Catholics but of different Rites, all children without distinction of sex follow the Rite of the father.
