How does one obtain this dispensation from canonical form? The process is initiated by the pastor of the Catholic party. He forwards a description of the situation to the bishop for review, and the bishop then informs him whether the dispensation is granted or not.
There must be a just and reasonable cause for granting a dispensation. What is just and reasonable is based upon the particular situation and the importance of the law to be dispensed from.
Dispensation is a concept primarily associated with the relaxation of canon law within organized religions, particularly in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. It allows specific individuals or groups to be excused from strict adherence to church laws under carefully examined circumstances.
Within the Catholic Church, if a matrimonial celebration takes place (ratification) but the spouses have not yet engaged in intercourse (consummation), then the marriage is said to be a marriage ratum sed non consummatum. Such a marriage, regardless of the reason for non-consummation, can be dissolved by the pope.
Can. 57 1. Whenever the law orders a decree to be issued or an interested party legitimately proposes a petition or recourse to obtain a decree, the competent authority is to provide for the matter within three months from the receipt of the petition or recourse unless the law prescribes some other time period.
