A "Declaration of Nullity" is not the dissolution of an existing marriage (as is a dispensation from a marriage ratum sed non consummatum and an "annulment" in civil law), but rather a determination that consent was never validly exchanged due to a failure to meet the requirements to enter validly into matrimony and thus a marriage never existed.

A cleric's "second review" before nullity can be declared was eliminated. [5] Bishops now have the authority to declare nullity themselves, and in a more efficient manner. [5] The process should be gratis (for free), as long as the tribunal workers can still be paid a just wage. [6] The reforms took legal effect on 8 December 2015. [7]
Virginia's legal system is based on common law, which is interpreted by case law through the decisions of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and Circuit Courts, which may be published in the Virginia Reports, Virginia Court of Appeals Reports, and Virginia Circuit Court Opinions, respectively.
Regarding itself as not being bound by Old Testament commandments, the early Christian church followed Roman civil law, as the law of the land. [7] The Christian emperors modified the rules from time to time and extended the civil law impediment to the first degree of collateral affinity.
