Marriage Convalidation

Marriage convalidation is a formal legal or ecclesiastical process that recognizes a marriage that was previously not considered valid, often because it lacked a proper wedding ceremony or was performed outside the Church’s requirements. It involves a formal blessing or declaration, confirming the couple’s commitment and making the marriage officially recognized by the Church or legal authorities. This process ensures the marriage’s validity, rights, and responsibilities, allowing the couple to enjoy the full benefits of their union within their faith or legal framework.
