Reasons for invalidity, part 2

The lecture explains the reasons for the nullity of marriage from a legal, ecclesial and educational perspective, with pastoral guidance to preserve the sanctity of the marital bond.
The speaker clarifies that a civil divorce does not necessarily equal ecclesial nullity and that the clerical council has a role in re-examining divorce cases before permitting a new marriage.
The lecturer lists causes that nullify marriage including: one spouse being linked to an existing marriage not ecclesially dissolved, and marriages forbidden because of blood or affinity mentioned in the Holy Scripture.
He also alerts to the rulings of the Fathers such as Basil the Great and biblical examples (like John the Baptist) as moral and legal references.
He also mentions the absence of true consent of the parties—including material or psychological coercion or violence—as a reason for nullity, with emphasis on the priest’s responsibility to verify consent.
Health and sexual problems are presented as other causes such as insanity before marriage, incurable contagious diseases if present before marriage, or sexual impotence existing before marriage.
The speaker discusses cases of fraud or essential deception that build the marriage on a false basis, and the legal and ecclesial consequences that follow.
The lecture concludes by stressing the need for careful spiritual and legal pastoral care from the Church, warning priests to be vigilant in personal status matters, with proposing protective measures such as premarital medical screening
