CHAPTER XXII
Bulgaria.
The national religion of the Bulgarian people is that of the Orthodox Greek Church, and consequently the laws of that church on the subject of marriage and divorce is part of the organic law of Bulgaria.
Upon the political independence of the country the Bulgarian Church, which had hitherto been under the Patriarchate of Constantinople through an exarch, declared its independence and established the Bulgarian Exarchate. The ecclesiastical courts of this Exarchate have general jurisdiction of matrimonial causes except as concern Mohammedans, Jews, and Christians who are not adherents of any of the Eastern Orthodox churches.
Besides the laws of the Church, Bulgaria has a national law of marriage and divorce dating from 1897.
The matrimonial concerns of Mohammedans are governed by the law of the religion of Mohammed. Christians who are dissenters from the Orthodox Church are permitted to marry according to the rules and regulations of their sect.
