Summary/Abstract: This article sets out to offer a brief historical presentation on the development of marriages among spouses of different religions: from the testimony of Holy Scripture (Gen. 16,1-15; 24,2-4; 25,1-5; Ex. 34,15-16; Ezra 10,10-11; Neh. 13,25-27; 1 Cor. 5,11; 7,10-15; 1Pet 3,1-6, itd.) and some Church Fathers (Cyprian of Carthage, Ambrose of Milan and Augustine of Hippo), through the key ecclesiastical documents (Documents of the Second Vatican Council, M.p. Matrimonia mixta by Pope Paul VI.), to the development of the marriage impediment as such and the current canonical regulations. This is followed by a consideration of the reasons for the existence of this marriage impediment (disparity of cult; cann. 1061; 1071 CIC 1917; can. 1086 CIC 1983.), as well as the conditions under which the local ordinary may provide a dispensation. Due to the comprehensive nature of the topic, it isn’t possible to interpret and analyze in detail the canonical provisions, but in the footnotes we will refer to authors who have written about this in a more detailed way.
