Excerpt from The Marriage Process in the United States The subject of these pages - the marriage process - is comparatively new in this country. Down to the year 1884, marriage disputes, even those involving the validity of marriages already contracted, were, as a rule, decided, with us, by the bishop, or also by rectors of parishes, and some times even by assistant priests, without any judicial formali ties whatever. This mode of procedure was naturally open to serious inconveniences, and was calculated to imperil, in many cases, the stability and indissolubility Of marriages. To obviate these disadvantages, the S. C. De Prop. Fide, in 1884, issued the Instruction Causae Matrimonial for this country. This Instruction or law substantially lays down and makes Obligatory here, in matrimonial contentions in volving the validity of a marriage contracted, the manner Of proceeding which is prescribed by the general law of the Church and obtains throughout the entire Church. This mode of deciding marriage disputes is judicial, and is to be conducted by the bishop's court for marriage causes. In some respects the judicial formalities of the marriage process are the same as those Of other ecclesiastical trials. But in no small number of points there are wide di vergencies between the two. From the very nature of the subject-matter in dispute, the marriage trial has many peculiarities, and is frequently more intricate and complex than other ecclesiastical trials.
