If a baptized catholic marries a non-baptized person, is that a valid marriage??

Marriage is a civil contract. It doesn't matter whether the ceremony is performed in a church or elsewhere, the legality and validity of the marriage is determined by whether it is performed by a person who is legally entitled to do so (and most ministers of religion are). The solemnisation of a marriage or the blessing of it in a church or other place of worship is a completely different thing and does not affect the legality of the marriage, although the two parts of the ceremony may not be separable or possible to distinguish. It is up to the church concerned (and the minister) whether they will agree to conduct a marriage between people of different sects or religions (or no religion) and some ministers will not agree to do this. You should discuss this with the minister beforehand, of course. It is possible to have a civil marriage (in a registry office) and then to arrange a separate ceremony in a place of worship to bless the union. Again, many ministers may not agree to do this and it very much depends on the personal beliefs of the couple (and, perhaps, their families) whether they consider it important or necessary. Nevertheless, the marriage is still valid in law with or without the religious ceremony.

I think you are mixing two things at the same time. Marriage is different from baptism and I don't think there is any problem with that.

Anyone who wishes to answer this question or siscussion must reffer to this link and read the content for an authentic response. : http://www.catholicdoors.com/misc/marriage/canonlaw.htm The validity of catholic marriage can be authentic by abiding to the Cannon Law of the Catholic Church alone. Any argument contrary to this Law can be an opinion. but the authenticity is in submission to the Code of Cannon Law of the Catholic Church which is binding to the Catholics.

Legally, yes. Religion-wise, I don't think so. But then it all depends on what religion. Lots of people marry in court called Civil Marriages. It is all legal.

It always depends on the law of the state and law of the country. You also have to consider the side of your religion as well as your partner's religion. You have to talk about it seriously.

LOL. Yes it is valid of course, as long as you complete the required legal papers for the wedding and marriage nothing to worry about.

I am a catholic married to a person from another religion but also is a non believer. I did want to have a church wedding. My partner was previously married, so for me to get married, my partner would have to get an anullment which could take years. The catholic church did not have a problem marrying my partner and I after the anullment. I opted for a garden wedding. So in my country, even though I am married to a non catholic, I am still legally married. A family member of mine married a non catholic in a catholic church. But that marriage failed. The family member did remarry in a church but it wasn't a catholic church. It was anglican church. For the family member to remarry in a catholic church both family member and partner would both have to get anullments. In the case of you what are talking about, neither of them would have to give up their own religion, Just a matter of finding a balance. You never know if you talk to ministers of both religions, you might be able to have both ministers from both religions present at the wedding.

Don`t do it if he doesn`t want to change his I think it`s different for different religions,some of them will ask one of you to be baptized first and to change his/her religion.If one of you have a problem with that then maybe you shouldn`t get married in the first place.Find yourself a good catholic and that`s it .

Over here marriage is only marriage if you are married by law. So church has nothing to do with being married for real. I think it's common that one of the two will change it's religion if you want to get married for church as well. Although there are churches who don't care about that either and have special services for that. So if it's a valid marriage depends on the church but also the way you look at it.
