What are the qualifications to getting married in a catholic church?

Answer 1

You could be asking two things here....if neither party is Catholic, it is possible- though usually only in an historic church- you need to arrange it with the pastor.

If one or both of you are Catholic, you meet with the priest ( bring your baptismal certificates). He will set up a series of meeting with you for your marriage preparation. depending on your diocese, you may also need to attend Engaged Encounter or Cana Conference with other engaged couples.

If only one is Catholic, the Catholic must promise to raise children as Catholics, and the nonCatholic must acknowledge that promise.

If only one is Catholic, you may not be able to have a Mass. My husband was not Catholic when we married, but he and my priest know how important the Eucharist was to me, so we did have a Mass.
