Marriage has existed as a method of regulating relations since the beginning of humanity. In Latvia, marriage can be concluded at a registry office or by the clergy. During the study it was found out that concluding a marriage in church and civil marriage is contradictory. It is possible that a married couple that concluded their marriage in church get divorced in accordance with the civil law, but in accordance with the canon law they are still married.
