He doesn’t realize that the Orthodox Christians and Roman Catholics really do it the same way. The Romans are much more formal with their practice of annulment but the Orthodox require a Bishop acknowledge the failure of the first marriage and then grant permission for the second.
What about the third?
But if it’s like a Catholic annulment, theoretically and considering the circumstances are actually legit, why stop at three? Or would that be a case where say the third marriage is a case of unknowing siblings marrying or whatever and finding out later. I say theoretically because I know the Orthodox treat marriage with the upmost respect, any third marriage is always described as very rare with a ‘ funereal or penitential tone,’ as far as I have found.
