Abstract
Legal acts in Lithuania regulating the legal status of churches and religious
communities set the right and freedom to organize themselves according to their canons and statutes. In 2012, after changing the procedure of including canonical marriages in the register, an obligation to notify the competent state institutions about all religious marriages was established. This article analyzes whether such an obligation corresponds to the principle of separation and neutrality of the state and the church established by the Constitutional Court, and whether this regulation violates the freedoms and rights of individuals’ religion and beliefs.
