A couple was married outside the Catholic Church and divorced. Is there something one of them would need to do in order to be married to a different partner in the Catholic Church?
If a baptized Catholic was married outside the Church without permission then their marriage is invalid. The individual would need to provide proof of that their marriage was outside the Church and that they were civilly divorced from that individual. After that point they would be free to marry in the Church.
