In the stream of recent years one can notice that divorces granted by the civil court in Poland constantly grow in number. The author observes that each di-vorce suit results from the tragedy of a matrimonial life, though not always from the fault of a spouse. He dedicates his considerations (1) to show how the Catholic Church defends the indissolubility of marriage, (2) to discuss the prob-lem of these divorced Catholics whose sacramental marriage has not been de-clared invalid by the Church court, (3) to analyze the legal and pastoral situation of these spouses who left their sacramental marriages for living in non-sacramental ones.
