Foreign Marriages.—The law of Bulgaria does not recognize the foreign marriage of Bulgarian subjects unless the following elements are present:
1. The foreign marriage must comply with all the laws and rules of the foreign country where it is concluded.
2. If the parties are baptized members of the Orthodox Greek Church the marriage must be solemnized by a priest of that church. This rule applies even though in the country where the marriage was concluded a civil ceremony is sufficient.
Divorce.—The Church and State both permit absolute divorces. The causes are:
1. Adultery of either spouse.
2. Drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
3. Cruel and abusive treatment.
4. Threat to kill.
5. Incurable impotence.
6. Absence of the husband for four years coupled with failure to support wife.
