Abstract

The author presents and comments on the Rotal decision (negative) issued in the second instance after appealing against the decision (positive) issued in the first instance (by one-man tribunal) by the respondent due to a serious lack of the evaluative analysis of both parties. The Rotal judge, after a thorough interpretation of the code-based expression discretio iudicii (including three elements), emphasizes that not always the lack of such analysis constitutes inability to come to a marital agreement. This inability shall constitute exclusively the serious lack of discretio iudicii, both in its internal and external aspects.

Keywords:

marital rights, conjugal duty, grave defect of discretion of judgment, canon 1095 n. 2 CIC/1983
