Canon 1119 of the 1917 Code of Canon Law [6] stipulated two cases in which a marriage ratum sed non consummatum may be dissolved, [7] namely, (1) if one of the parties takes solemn vows in a religious order [8] or (2) a dispensation is issued by the Holy See.
On the other hand, a marriage celebrated in due form between a Catholic and an unbaptized person is invalid unless dispensation has previously been obtained from the competent church authority. [32] Other cases in which a marriage is both illicit and invalid are indicated in canons 1083 to 1094 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law. [33]
