Mr A and Miss B are both validly baptised non-Catholic Christians. They marry each other in a civil marriage ceremony. Because they are both validly baptised Mr and Mrs A’s marriage is a sacrament.

Mr X and Miss Y are both validly baptised Latin Catholics. They marry each other in a civil ceremony without being granted dispensation from canonical form. Because they are both bound to canonical form and did not marry according to canonical form their marriage is invalid.

Am I correct in saying that Mr and Mrs X’s marriage is not a sacrament because it is in fact invalid?

I would be very happy for people to respond with any explanations they wish to add, but I would please ask you to directly answer the question first, i.e. yes or no.

Thanks

X and Y are not married as they being Catholic are bond by cannon law and would need premission to validly by married outside of the church.

A and B are married as long as there is nothing that would prevent a valid marriage (forced to marry or to close of a blood relation) as they are not catholic they do not have to adhere to cannon law to have a valid marriage.
