Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the problem of realization of the principle of equality of denominational groups as far as the possibility of applying the denominational form of contracting the civil marriage. The author presents the essence of the principle of equality of denominational groups, as well as the existing solutions which consist in its restricting through authorizing only some denominational groups to apply the indicated form of contracting a marriage, that is those which possess the legal status regulated through individual acts. In order to eliminate this discriminating practice, the author proposes, in her paper, changes de lege ferenda aimed at authorizing also other legally active denominational communities to proceed using the denominational form while contracting civil marriages.
