Abstract

The presented study is a commentary on the affirmative judgment of the Roman Rota c. Ferreira Pena of 30 October 2013. In the structure of the study, the author discussed in detail the various segments of the judgment: the course of the case, legal and factual motives. In the commentary he showed that the ponens’ inference consisted in the implementation of the ratio of the reverential fear which is the protection of the nupturient’s freedom to marry, which was the case of Lycien. He proved the adopted thesis by means of direct and indirect proof. Firstly, he proved that the plaintiff’s statements were supported by the testimony of witnesses and the circumstances of the case; secondly, he proved that the plaintiff had a serious aversion to entering into marriage.
