An Orthodox Christian may, under certain circumstances, receive permission to marry a baptized non-Orthodox Christian in the Orthodox Church. Exact requirements are governed by the bishop and jurisdiction.
Is every interfaith marriage permitted?
No. Orthodox marriage is sacramental and presupposes important commitments about Christian faith and family life.
Who can give a definite answer?
The parish priest should be consulted before wedding plans are finalized.
