Dignitas connubii is an instruction issued by the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts on 25 January 2005 on the discipline to be observed in diocesan and interdiocesan tribunals regarding causes of the nullity of marriage. [1]
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]

In essence, it is an extension to marriages between a baptised and a non-baptized person of the logic of the Pauline privilege, the latter being dissolution of a marriage between two non-baptized persons to enable one of them, on becoming a Christian, to enter a Christian marriage.
