Hereditary Prince (Erbprinz) Emanuel zu Salm-Salm (b 1961) is the eldest son of Carl Philipp, 14th Fürst zu Salm, 9th Fürst zu Salm-Salm and 9th Fürst zu Salm-Kyrburg.

He married 1992 Zita von Klot-Heydenfeldt (b 1970), daughter of Burchard von Klot-Heydenfeldt and Countess Rixa von Westphalen zu Fürstenberg.

One of the genealogies shows Emanuel's status as 'divorced', none show any children.

Does the Salm-Salm family have marriage laws as other German Houses?

[Warren]

They may not have written laws, but there would be traditions, expectations and preferences. In any case it would be up to the Head of each branch to apply, ignore or change any rules. Only one of the four children of the current Fürst zu Salm-Salm has made an "equal" marriage.

None of the current generation of Salm-Horstmar, including the Fürst, have made "equal" marriages either.

This can be seen as either accommodating to the modern world, or as a sign of declining standards.

Has anyone got infos or pictures of the late Prince Nikolaus von Salm-Salm, born in 1913, by one of the daughters of Archduke Friedrich?
