Baptism after non catholic marriage

[from_Gracie]

If a couple is baptised after marriage and becomes Catholic, is their marriage considered valid and sacramental? The husband was Lutheran, the wife was unbaptized.

It depends. I know that isn’t a great answer but… If there are no prior marriages it could. Speak to your RCIA director or a priest or deacon about this. The “depends” part is more about your own situation which will be better understood with those you’ve been working with.

 

[SuscipeMeDomine]

If the marriage was valid, it will become sacramental after both parties are baptized. If you have questions about the validity of your marriage it’s best to discuss them with your pastor.

is their marriage considered valid and sacramental?

Generally speaking, yes. That assumes no prior marriages or other sorts of Impediments

 

[Cor_ad_Cor]

Generally speaking, they won’t be admitted to baptism unless they’re in a valid marriage, and at the time of baptism, it becomes sacramental.

All non catholic marriages or civil not recognised. Ask a priest to do ceremony

@bet1 This is not accurate information.

In general, yes, it becomes sacramental.

I married in a civil ceremony. Husband is baptized protestant, I was still a katechumen. No marriages or invalidity causes, so it’s a legal marriage.
